A meeting was held yesterday between Madison Square Garden and owners of the New York Nicks. People were chanting "fire Isiah" . They were booing him, throwing batteries at his head, shouting,and calling him an asshole.
A Madison Square Garden official brought an effigy of Thomas, with a noose tied around his neck and a white shirt with the word devil written on it. He hung it from the ceiling.
The Knicks owner mooned Thomas. Thomas tried to keep his cool and said that "coaches go through this in New York City and you have to black it out". The board was upset because of the Sexual harassment conviction and other business decisions he has made.
There are petitions available for his dismissal, also t-shirts are for sale

AT LAST..... TO BREATHE AGAIN !!!
Last week I was wondering when I would be able to breathe again. I would have those coughing attacks from the fires. With the ash falling every day , on our lawns and cars, it was hard to breathe or go outside.
Yesterday I was looking out of the window at the tumbleweeds rolling across my lawn. And then there was a report of two lion cubs in the area. The fires are driving them to come into the neighborhoods to hunt for food.
And this morning I awoke to falling rain. It has been raining very steadily all day. Now I am watching to see if the water will come into my house.
People only think of earthquakes when they think of California, but we have all sorts of weather here.

WHAT WOULD YOU DO IF YOUR SKIN CHANGED COLOR ?
I ask myself that a lot recently. I read the book review of the news anchor, Lee Thomas who has vitiligo.It starts with spots and then spreads to the entire body.There is no cure for it.
Since my journey into genealogy, I have found that one line the "Westbrook" ,family has this disease There is a makeup to blend in with your skin color available.Every time I see a white spot, I panic.
I don't want to take a drug to turn all of my skin white. But what the hay, Michael Jackson did it. I just don't think I could take all the pointing and jeering from people. And children can be especially mean.

THERE IS A CRIME WAVE AMONG CHURCH-GOERS
This is happening in affluent communities. There have been alarming rates of violence and robberies. Domestic violence, assault, and harassment have risen.
Recently there have been murders. Drugs are seized and children assaulted. With so many families struggling and suffering, from the mortgage crises, larger usage of recreative drugs , it's turned into mental and health issues.

GENIUS GENETICIST RAMBLINGS
James Watson, is the chancellor of Cold Springs Labs in Cold Spring Harbor, New York. He is credited with discovering the structure of DNA , and a Noble Prize Winner.
He said " People who have to deal with Black employees know thatBlacks are not as intelligent". He was gloomy about the prospect of Africa because all policies are based on White's and Blacks having the same intelligence.
He said "all testing says not really". "All women should be allowed to abort a child if they learned it would be a homosexual". " There was a link between skin color and sex drive", " They have Latin lovers, not English lovers."

FIRED BECAUSE NOT ENOUGH HITS ??
Dave Jansen of Good Gear Guide and P C World, both owned by IDG, said he was fired this month because his articles weren't getting enough web site hits. This seems to be the nail in the coffin for journalism.
Publishers in the past relied on circulation figures, but now with the web,they can see instantly how many people are reading the article. Journalists who are dismissed for not generating enough hits could sue for unfair dismissal if the company has 100 employees.

SHOULD REVERSE MORTGAGES BE BANNED ??
This is according to experts on debt. They are saying that it won't be long before the reverse mortgages will follow the path of the subprime loans. Reverse mortgages are different from conventional loans, In the reverse mortgages,the borrower makes no payments.
The principal and compounding interest are recovered when the borrower dies or sells their home. Reverse mortgages are increasingly being sold to seniors. Some groups say that these loans are targeting vulnerable customers.
If you were to get a reverse loan to buy a car, it could take 25 years to pay that loan off.

WHY IS TARGET ADVERTISING RECALLED TOYS FOR SALE !!!
There was an ad for the dots that were recalled recently. I guess they wanted to sell as many as they could instead of taking a loss.
Many resellers are still selling them. This toy has injured children. Is it all about the profit? The advertising department can always say they were never told that these toys were recalled.
Some heads will roll with this issue. The company should do something becausethe people that don't read newspapers are unaware of this toy having lead in it.

DENVER SCHOOLS MAY OFFER BIRTH CONTROL PILLS
The leaders in Denver want to issue birth control pills. This is supposed to prevent pregnacies and drop outs. Many students cannot afford health care, so when they are referred to clinics, they do not go.
Some groups are protesting the action. This makes the parents lose control of parenting and advising their children. In Texas, they want to pass a law to make it mandatory for girls over the age of 11 to get a vaccination to prevent venereal diseases.
And in Maryland parents were demanded that their children be vaccinated or do jail time. It seems that parents have no say-so on how to raise their kids.

MEXICO PROTECTING THE MONARCH BUTTERFLY
Mexico's president Felipe Calderon is planning to put 4.6 million dollars to work to curb logging and to protect Monarch Butterflies. This was a promise he made when he was elected to support the environment , economy, and tourism .
The butterflies migrate from Canada to Mexico every winter. Visitors come from around the world to see them. It is called the Monarch Butterfly Biosphere Reserve and will cover 124,000 acres of land. He has vowed to plant 250 million trees this year in his National Anti-Global Warming Plan.

WAS YOUR ATM WORKING THIS WEEKEND ?
It seems like a tactic by the corporations ,that on some three or four day weekends, you cannot get cash. When you go to the ATM it is unoperable or out of cash.
I think it is a ploy for you to charge, not to use debit cards or to get cash. Every store that you go to, asks you to get their credit card, for a discount, or credit.

MIKE TYSON IN PINK UNDIES ???
Former heavy weight boxing champion Mike Tyson is going to jail this week. He will have to wear pink socks, pink underwear and pink handcuffs.
Joe Arpario, the Maricopa County sheriff in Arizona, runs this jail and he has been dubbed "America's toughest sheriff".
Tyson only had a one day sentence. In Germany, at the concentration camps,the Nazi's made the homosexuals and sex offenders wear pink.

THERE IS A CREDIT CRISIS IN ASIA
Investors in Asia have pulled out of risky assets. Yields on 3 month deposits have fallen to near 1 percent.
This has caused panic withdrawals from cd's and money market funds. Asian banks have been suspected to have had billion dollar losses from the U S Mortgage disaster.

WHY IS LAS VEGAS CONTINUING TO BUILD !! WE HAVE A DROUGHT PROBLEM!!
We will have a need for 25,000 new homes a year for the next five years to meet the demand for housing. Lake Mead is the source of water now but the supply is dwindling.
Donald Trump will begin construction on a 300 million dollar project next year which will feature 1,000 hotel rooms, and 50 luxury condo units. The luxury units will have up to 10,000 square feet of space.
There will be restaurants and a spa. But there will be no casino. There are also a number of other luxury hotels under construction. I think there should be a moratorium on building at this time when we desparately need water. The new pipelines will cost millions of dollars.

WHAT DOES KILMEADE WANT ?
It seems like he is walking out on a limb to prove himself. I am wondering if he wants a job at the White House. Like Tony Snow's old job ?
Or does he want his own show ? He could take over Imus's old slot over at MSNBC ! I think he is trying to distance himself from the pack and go solo.
Move over, Hannity ! Move over O'reilly ! Kilmeade is ready to rumble. He doesn't come off as smooth as Olberman.

WHY DON'T YOU GIVE ANYMORE ?
Now only 8 per cent of Americans are bequesting to charities.Federal tax cuts are one reason. Another is because after all the telethons for 9/11 , some actors were critizied , especially by a Fox news show host, for not following through with the money trail.
The Red Cross said they were going to use some of the money for future incidents. They never said that when the money was being raised. Only after they came under fire for not distributing the money.
So when Katrina came, the well-heeled people gave to someone who was going there to distribute the money and goods themselves. They wanted to see the people who were affected directly get the money and not have to go to a "middle man."

KILMEADE KISSING UP TO COMBS FOR AN INVITE
Sean "P Diddy" Combs was on the Fox and Friends show promoting his contract with Ciroc Vodka. He will get a 50 per cent share of the profits. The deal could be worth 100 million for him.
Brian Kilmeade was just kissing up to Combs when he said he was giving a party. He said he wanted to go to the party. Then he jumped up and grabbed the vodka and ran off the set with it.
Kilmeade's co-hosts were looking in amazement that he would act like that. It was so unbecoming of a show host. Insinuating that he wanted to open the vodka right then.

AFTER 55 YEARS BEHIND BARS, A BRITISH PRISONER DIES
John Straffen 77 was a child killer. In 1952 he escaped from a high security hospital, & within a few hours he killed a 5 year old girl. He was in the hospital because he had killed 2 girls ages 9 and 6.
Straffen was sentenced to death at trial but the sentence was reduced to life because he was mentally ill and could not stand trial.He had the mental capacity of a nine year old.

ZIMBABWE CONCERNED ABOUT U.K. INVADING THEM
The government is accusing the U.K. of plotting to invade them & taking control of the country. Former British general Lord Guthrie said in a U.K. newspaper last week that he advised former P.M. Tony Blair against it.
White farmers have had their farms taken away from them and given to Blacks . Spokesman for Zimbabwe said elimination of leadership is for control of the country's resources.
President Robert Mugabe has been accused of Human Rights Violations.

FOX NEWS HOST BRIAN KILMEAD WANTS ANTI-WAR PROTESTORS TASERED OR BILLY CLUBED
On his morning show on Fox T V, Brian Kilmeade said that anti-war protestors such as the Code Pink protestors, should be clubed or tasered. He was discussing the protestors who heckled Hillary Clinton speech.
He said the protestors looked threatening. This was the next day after a 20 year old Maryland man died after being tasered by police

HOW CAN CHINA LET PEOPLE SELL USED CONDOM BANDS FOR PONYTAIL HOLDERS?
This is really disturbing to me. The bands are stronger than regular hair bands. And they are cheap. Up to 25 in a bag for 3 cents. Officials are worried that people might put the band in their mouths while combing hair to tie up.
These bands might carry STD's and HIV and other viruses. China has been under fire lately because of the lead-based toys that were sold in the U .S. These toys were recalled. We will see in a few weeks how much revenue China will gain from toy sales.
Mother's are now demanding toys that are not made in China. We'll see how far that goes.

FIVE MOST DANGEROUS CITIES : DON'T BE FOOLED
The five most dangerous cities were named yesterday, they are:
St. Louis, Mo.
Detroit, Mi.
Flint, Mi.
Compton, Ca.
Camden, N.J.
Don't be fooled by these numbers. The powers that be in many cities under count or under report the numbers. It all has to do with tourism. Do you think people would go to Olympic Games and Conventions in these cities if they had a crime problem?
When I was in Hawaii, a tour bus was hijacked. Also someone fired a shot and it hit a window in my daughters room. My sister-in-law was in a bar with her friend and a guy asked them to go for a walk on the beach. When they got way out there, he pulled a gun on them and robbed them of all their money.
He said that's how he made his money. Another friend had just checked in a hotel and thought it was a bellsman at the door and opened it.
It was a man with a broken bottle and he demanded to cut her face if she did not give him all her money, and she did. There are some cities that I am surprised are not on the top ten, that should be.
Many of the cities in California are very safe because they are cities where a large amount of policemen live. They live in all of the cities mentioned .They have a large presence there. They drive their cars and motorcycles home at night. If someone leaves their garage door open , you can see the squad car or cycle.

CELL PHONES ARE KEEPING OUR COUNTRY AFLOAT
I think that cell phones are keeping our economy afloat. People think they are getting a deal when the companies are giving them away for free.
Some companies are giving away four or five to give to family and friends. When you look at the legal shows on T V, the majority of persons appearing before the judge are suing family and friends.
I do not have a phone because I never want to get caught up in that trap.When I was sick once my relatives called me every minute, to check on my condition. That month I owed 400 dollars and the next month I owed 300 dollars.
Thats when I got rid of the cell phone. I think I only need one is when I am traveling or on the highway.I am very appaled when I see parents paying 300 or 400 dollars a month for their kids cell phones.
Most of the time they are calling local phones or to friends that live only a couple of blocks away.

BANK HACKED BY PARTY IN ANOTHER COUNTRY
I called the bank and wondered why my card had not been renewed. They said they had no plastic and would be late printing them. They to go ahead and use them, no problem.
A month later I was still waiting, and they said the expiration date had been extended.One evening I was reading the letters to the editor section in the newspaper, and a person said the bank had been hacked.
The bank never notified customers so they could check their statments to see if there were any crimes committed against them.

UNION SENT SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER OUT IN MAILING
The union sent all membere a letter explaining that they had made this error. It seems that they should have some safeguards , like having some proofreading done. Or at least someone to sign off on documents.
The union suggested we contact the credit bureau to put a fraud alert on our credit report.

SCATTERING ASHES AT AMUSEMENT PARKS
More and more people are scattering their family's ashes at amusement parks. They want to scatter them from the deceased person's favorite ride.
Disneyland has taken action to promptly vacuum up the ashes. This is a health hazard and I think it is very inconsiderate.

BOSTON'S OLD JAIL TURNED INTO A HOTEL
The new Liberty Hotel in Boston was formally the Charles Street Jail. Many features have been preserved in the 156 year old building.There were a few famous prisoners housed there.
The hotel will also have a restaurant. I wonder if there are any ghosts there?

SOME ENTERTAINERS PREFER TO BE PAID IN EUROS
Some entertainers are preferring to be paid in gold or euros. I believe this is very un-democratic, since our dollar is on the decline. Now Canadians are flocking here to shop, instead of the other way around.
I believe this is un-american, and a slap in the face of the average person who supports these entertainers.

WEALTHY HOMEOWNERS DIGGING THEIR OWN WELLS TO COMBAT DROUGHT
Wealth homeowners in N.C. are digging their own wells on their property. Local water companies are limiting use of water for personal use & for lawns.
Permits for wells have risen in the past few weeks. A local well driller has installed dozens of them. These hownowners will not have to follow the rules of the water companies.

DOES ANY OF THE EVANGELICALS AND RIGHT TO LIFE MEMBERS HAVE ADOPTED OR FOSTER CHILDREN?
I would like for that question to be answered before I consider who I would vote for. The conservatives have strong feelings about abortion, but do they put their money where mouth is?
Also how many of the legislators in South Dakota have adopted ophrans or foster care children? The Evangelicals now have so much turmoil swirling about their fellow members conduct, that people are undecided about 2008.
We will see in 2008 how much clout Pat Robertson and "Focus on the Family" has on the vote. It seems like to me that they think they can sway votes. But now I think they are losing steam with all the scandals going on.

FEMA WORKERS ORDERED TO STAY OUT OF TRAILERS.
FEMA has issued orders to their workers to stay out. of their trailers. The emission levels from the formaldehyde can cause nosebleeds, headaches & respiratory illnesses.
Thousands of people are still living in the trailers. The residents are afraid of moving out of the trailers into a hotel, because they will have nowhere to go when their time runs out. Many of them have sick children but there is nothing they can do.

HEALTH CARRIER STEPS UP TO PLATE
I was so very surprised to get a letter from my health care provider asking me if I needed any assistance. They said they were here to support me during the difficult time of the forest fires.
They said if I was displaced from my home, I could go to any facility. And if I needed any routine care, to call them. In all my years of membership, I cannot recall them being so supportive.
They even mentioned refills and lost prescriptions. I am very impressed.

T B QUARANTINES IN SOUTH AFRICA
I never thought we would ever see the time again, when people would be quarantined for T B They are guarded in a compound in South Africa with high fences and guards.
This strain of T B is incurable. The drugs that might help are years away from being released. Critics say the patients are being violated of their civil rights. And the quarantine is violating medical ethics.
Many of the people with this strain of T B die before they are tested and treated. By the time they are tested they have infected many people. Doctors Without Borders and other organizations say the government is downplaying the numbers of people infected.
The South African government says there were 343,000 cases in the year 2006.6,000 were drug resistant.The youngest patient is one years old.

VETS DENIED G.I.BENEFITS
Our vets are being denied their Chapter 30 G.I. and medical benefits. These benefits were promised to them when they enlisted.
Soldiers from the National Guard are taking a class action to get the benefits.You have to be on active duty for two years to get benefits. They are sent back to American soil five days earlier to void that action.
In the past, the National Guard was not considered active duty until 2005 when they were sent to Iraq for almost 800 days. This was short of the two years.

DOG'S VOCABULARY
Every time "Dog "opens his mouth, he puts his foot in it. Now he is saying he didn't know which word to use when he rants. He says its because he has no education.
Dog should just not have any more apologies on T.V. He looks like hell.Looks like he has been drug through mud.
The moral of this story is, " If Dog can make it, anyone can made it". Dog is a self made man. I guess you can say he has pulled himself up by his bootstraps. I guess he can say he has paid his dues.

BIG BOX STORES LIKE CASINOS
The big box stores are like casinos. You never keep track of the time. You can shop and get samples of food, and have lunch. Before you know it, you have spent about six hours there.
There is something for everybody. I am going to ask all of the stores in my area to place clocks throughout the store. I don't think kids need to be in these sort of places for that length of time.
Kids need to be out in the sunshine and doing some kind of physical activity.

BECKHAM: AMERICAN SOCCER FANS MISLED
That is the sentiment of the great Soccer Player, Pele. He said " Beckham was not a scorer". They have players in the Galaxy that have not been offered similar contracts.
Does Beckham want to be a soccer player or a movie star? I guess we will all find out soon.

SUPER TARGET IN MORENO VALLEY, CALIFORNIA
I couldn't wait until the Super Target opened in my town. It is so big, you can't see all of it in one day.
They have all of the conveniences that you need. When you need a break, you can go to the deli for a sandwich and get a latte at Starbucks. If your child wants a pizza, there's a snack bar there.
I have had some disapointments there though.Some of my organic fruits tasted of a sanitizer. I thought I was going to get sick. It seemed that the porta potty might have been right in the fields next to the produce.
Next I bought some peaches and they were rotten and I had to throw them away. On a follow up visit, I bought some tomatoe salsa andprotective covering under the lid was torn open, so I had to throw it in the trash.
I took some film to be processed in one hour, and after shopping and a snack at Starbucks, I still waited an hour. So I had to go back the next day and get snapshots.
I guess they are going through growing pains and will improve. It is a nice store though, gets a lot of my money every month. The deli is very nice.

DOG SHOULD BE IN IDAHO
Dog should be in Idaho. I am sure they would welcome him there with open arms. I guess I never pictured him before as I do now. Before I just thought of him as a colorful character.
But now, I think of him as a supremacist. When he explained himself, I dismissed it. Then I listened to the rant. There was more to it. What is he saying about the young woman's character ? .
I would like for her to go on T V and let us make our own opinion. I really felt bad about it, because I am from Little Rock, and I was denied an education there.
When Gov. Faubus closed the schools, I had to come to Los Angeles to complete my education.Many of my classmates who had no relatives in other states, did not complete their senior year.
If Dog would just look at the jeering people trying to block the entryway to the school, or the policemen with the dogs in Alabama, then he could understand how hurtful his tirade was.
I wouldn't be surprised if the native Hawiian people boycotted his business, now that he has shown his distaste for minorities. That is the bulk of his business. He would feel right at home in Wyoming, Utah , or Idaho.

PILOTS ASLEEP AT THE WHEEL
Reports have just been leaked that pilots went to sleep at the wheel. There are many incidents such as this happening, but it is hidden.
Pilots are supposed to have breaks between flights, but who knows whether they sleep or run errands or go to a bar?
I know if I were flying a red eye , I would probably go to sleep, myself. They need to have someone there to keep them awake.When the pilot woke up, the controller was frantic , because he was coming too fast for a landing.
Both airlines on that flight path, Frontier and United ,denied it was them and said they had no knowledge of it and no paperwork.
I am afraid of flying because of my inner ear problems ,and I used to have to fly often because of my job. It wasn't so bad a few years ago, but now they keep you hostage on the runway for hours, and no bathroom facilities, no food or water, it is a joke.

KOBE DOESN'T WANT TO GO !!!!
Kobe seems so sad now that the Lakers are trading him. He was calling their bluff. They are tired of treating him like a ballerina. He is just a spoiled brat. He wants them to get rid of some players and to hire who he wants.
He has to realize that some of the guys don't want to play with him. Michael Jordan irritated a lot of his teammates because he wouldn't share the ball. Kobe is not a team player.
Well he wanted to get rid of Shaq , and thats when it seems like a curse was put on the team. The team was never the same. Myself , I was a fan when they had "SHOWTIME"! They need to send Kobe to a team in Alaska !

IMUS IS BACK !!!
Don Imus is back on radio. I want to see who will agree to come on the show. I'll bet he is just waiting for his so-called friends to call him . He gave them all free rein and they could come on his show anytime.
But I didn't know he was alienated from all the co-anchors at MSNBC. He talked about them all bad. They were glad when he was let go.
What I didn't like was the way he let Bernard just get real nasty. And one of the guys call one of the Williams sisters a monkey. I guess he thought that if the words didn't come out of his mouth, he wouldn't be held responsible.
Charles was the only one I liked . He seemed like a decent guy and didn't get caught up in all that nastiness. Imus did a lot of good things, but the negativeness outweighed the good.
It seemed like the show was only hawking people's books ,and products and fundraising. But I liked the way he raised a lot of money for the veterans. And he brought a lot of attention to the Walter Reed saga.
I also liked the way he would call the politicians out. When he asked a question, he didn't want any double talk.

DOG THE BOUNTY HUNTER "ANOTHER ONE BITES THE DUST" !!!
Dog has had it! And he was set up by his own son. When kids grow up they want to call their own shots.
If they feel for one minute that you are a hipocrite they will turn on you. If Dog had said he used the "N" word one time, then I would have believed him. I can't believe it, he has a picture of the president on the wall, like he is the all american boy next door.
But he said the "N" word many times in his conversation. I know his son might regret that Dog might lose his TV show, but his son is upset. He plays all goody goody to the press, and when he is behind closed doors he is a biggot.
He doesn't want his dad to pick his relationships for him. I hope their relationship will heal, with all the heartache that the family has gone through in the past few years.
What if his son and the woman have kids and deny him any access to them? This is sad, but it happens all the time. When a child goes off to college, you never know what you will get back. Maybe a stranger.
I wonder how this is going to be hashed out with the native Hawaiians who are minorities? Has he tried to keep his son away from the natives?
