How did we allow Arizona to become kidnap capital of the country?
Congratulations Phoenix, Arizona! You have become the kidnap capital of the United States of America. I’m sure it has nothing to do with your sanctuary policies for illegal aliens and the drug cartels that roam free in your streets. As the video points out below, this is something you expect to see in Iraq or Latin America or Mexico, but nope, you’re seeing this in Phoenix, Arizona – the city that never sleeps because it’s always looking over its shoulder with worry. Why do we put up with this and adopt Mexico’s bad habits? When will we take a stand as a people and fight back or is it all over?
Well lets face it the more illegals who enter the country themore democratic votes can be illegally used aginst the republicans regardless of the financial, criminal, healcare issues that face honest hard working legal Americasn. The goal is to make “red” states blue to ensure democrtic power. This way the “europeazation prodess” of America can begain. It’s began already with Nancy and Ried.
Are alien abductions real, and if so, do they ever happen in the Middle East?
Are alien abductions real? And if alien abductions are real, why is it the majority of people who report being abducted are Americans? Why is it we never hear of someone living in the Middle East getting abducted by aliens? With so many cameras and news crews stationed in Iraq and the Middle East due to the war on terrorism, has anyone in Iraq or the surrounding areas reported being abducted by aliens? Have people that have gone missing in the Middle East in some rare instances been mistakenly presumed to have been kidnapped by insurgents/terrorists when in fact they may have been kidnapped by aliens?
i live in the middle east & ur right…… i’ve never heard of that here….. but there was a sighting of a UFO last yr over bahrain & there have been UFO sightings in iran 2 i heard. who knows?
Some people give up easily. They keep a close eye on the sky; if a cloud happens by, they’re out of here. Dream’s over. Pack it up. Put it away. These Pollyannas aren’t really dreamers. Maybe quick buck artists. Perhaps dilettantes who never stick to anything. But they’re not dreamers.
Then there are heavy-duty dreamers who never give up. If drooling, man-eating aliens land on their front lawn, the never-say-die types see it as a great headline for an ad. The aliens would be burping and politely dabbing their snouts with a napkin before these diehards notice their peril.
Somewhere between those two extremes may come a need to let go of a dream. If it’s a real dream and not a passing fancy, the tipping point is closer to drooling aliens than to a slight chance of rain, but we have to be aware of the possibility.
Everybody’s tempted to give up from time to time, whatever the undertaking, but this isn’t about everyday stuff. We’re talking about dreams: our heart of hearts, goal of goals, the motor that energizes us and puts a spring in our step.
When do we pull the plug on a dream?
o We shouldn’t give up when the dream still lights our days and a door or two stands slightly ajar, if not completely open. If we’re happy to hear the alarm clock every morning because it means we can move our dream a little further down the road, we can’t give up.
o We should give up if we’re destroying our family. Dreams don’t bow down before much, but a family that can be held together by giving up a dream comes first. Our most significant dream has to be about keeping our families healthy and strong. Drivel about how the eventual bonanza of money will fix everything is baloney. Money’s good, but it isn’t everything.
o We shouldn’t give up because Mother says we look tired. Eat the dinner, tell her she’s a good cook and you love her, then get back to work on the dream. Repeat as necessary.
o We should give up if changed circumstances give us no way to go forward. This is a tricky one. A weary mind can easily overlook new possibilities. Talk this one out with people you trust and admire. Before quitting, search for ways to fit the new circumstances and still keep the integrity of the dream.
o We shouldn’t give up because it’s harder than we expected. Life’s not supposed to be easy. How can we expect to do something great without breaking a sweat? Nobody would start anything if they realized the swamps they’d have to struggle through to get to the finish line.
o We should give up if every day is misery. Another tricky one. Sometimes a minor course correction, a slight reshaping of the dream, can revive our lost enthusiasm. Consult on this one, too. If we’ve been plugging along in despair, we probably can’t see even minor changes that could fix the problem.
o We shouldn’t give up because somebody says it can’t work. New concepts often stump onlookers. Also, conventional thinkers resist the changes brought by new ideas. Scientific American wrote that the Wright brothers would never be able to fly their machine-after they had already done so.
But when other dreamers, people who love us and usually encourage our dreams, go negative, we should at least consider their words.
Finally, whenever we’re forced to abandon a dream, we must allow ourselves time to mourn. The death of a dream is a real death. We need balm for our wounds and healing for our souls.
And while we mourn, we need to stay away from the happy-talk folks who act as if nothing big has happened, and we should be over it by the weekend in any case. They’ll turn us into drooling, man-eating aliens, and it won’t be pretty.

There has been much sayings that the economy of Asia Pacific will start to decouple from America and Europe as the countries in the region become more dependent on the emerging market in China and India, and also the robust demand made possible by the economic boom in the region. The concern become more widespread in the recent financial crisis, from which the export to American market starts to dwindle since the depreciating of the Greenback.
The story and the literature portrayed are partly true, in view of large companies in the region still very much dependent on American and European markets. Although the demand is robust and the economies in the region are making tremendous growth, the purchasing powers are still very low compare to those in North America and Europe. We just have to know the exchange rate to imply the importance of the markets to the manufacturers in the region. Most of the consumers in the developing countries in the region seldom ready for any new innovations and the less than maturity of the local markets, make the penetration of new products difficult, retailers are reluctant to absorb the risks, and one finds it difficult to engage an agent to sell the goods. Unless it is already a well known brand or reliable goods which have prior adoptions and are spread via word of mouth, the innovations are seldom successful.
Another reason is that the per-capita income of the countries in the region are still very small, and many are still struggling with basic goods. Although the internet and the globalization have helped to increase the living standard and have created large group of middle class, the luxury is not trickled down to the grassroot consumers. Furthermore, the distribution of income among the population is not equal, which makes the penetration to the mass less easy.
We can see elsewhere that large purchasing power derived from young generations, who are savvy in internet, telecommunications, and fashionable youngsters who are more exposed to the new innovations in the market. In fact, this group of youngsters are mainly responsible for the explosion of handphone innovations in Japan. However, this similar group who is responsible to push for innovations is not present in the region, except Japan, Korea and Taiwan. The other countries in the region, Malaysia, Philippines, Thailand, Indonesia and others, do not provide a mass market base which the world manufacturers can depend on.
With the crisis in US and its contagious effect on Europe, the economy in the region is becoming much fragile. Things have changed and many manufacturers are running dry of contract and many have found difficulty in continuing. The affected industries are Food, Machineries, Electronics.
We all love to be entertained and watching movies is one of the best ways to do this. We can be whisked into a totally futuristic land, indulge in a guessing game of who done it, marvel in a land of fantasy, or laugh out load at the antics of funny people.
Some of us are totally addicted to the world of movies and some see it as a fascinating pastime. There are several ways we can watch movies, we can go to the cinema, we can go down to our local movie rental provider, or we can dip into our own collection of favourite movies.
However there is another way us movie enthusiasts can watch movies which is sometimes overlooked. We can watch free movies online. Now I’m not talking about all those illegal pirate websites out there showing low quality dodgy movies filmed from the back of the cinema, I’m talking totally legal websites showing streaming movies that have a crystal clear picture quality. I’m talking about websites that show movies that are under license and cleared for viewing online.
These movie websites are out there on the internet and need no subscriptions or credit card details. Just the ability to watch free movies at the click of a mouse any time, day or night. The only caveat here is that you have to have a computer with a good speed on your internet connection.
But what more do you want, a whole library of movies at your finger tips are not only FREE but also instantly available at any given moment. In today’s world a lot of us have frantic lifestyles, so some of us movies buffs don’t have the spare time to visit a cinema or the patience to deal with the guys behind you who keeps kicking your chair.
Free movie websites allow you to kick back in your favorite chair at home and open a bag of popcorn (that’s didn’t cost you a small fortune to buy) and watch a range of some of the best movies available. These free movie websites have a huge collection of free streaming movies which are organised into specific genres so you can quickly find a movie that suits your taste and preference.
So next time you get that urge to immerse yourself in a movie then check online first to see what is available for you, you will be surprised the quality of the films you will be able to watch for free. One of my favourite free movie websites is Indie Movies Online – you have to watch Evil Aliens it’s awesome.

Simply how much did you know in regards to the Earth? Starting the head count, population of the Earth: 6.66 billion by April 2008, our planet’s human population will double in 61.4 years. There are 195 countries on the planet.
Now let’s take on measurement. Earth’s circumference in the Equator is 24,901.55 miles, while Earth’s circumference between the North and South Pole is 24,859.82 miles. The earth’s diameter at the Equator is 7,926.28 miles, while the Earth’s diameter at the Poles measures 7,899.80 miles. Average distance from the Earth to the Sun is 93,020,000 miles, while average distance from the Earth towards the Moon is 238,857 miles.
Highest elevation on Earth is Mt. Everest, Asia standing up 29,035 feet, while the tallest mountain on Earth from foundation to peak is Mauna Kea in Hawaii with 33,480 feet above sea level. The lowest elevation on land is Dead Sea calculating 1369 feet below sea level, with regards to deepest point in the Ocean is the Challenger Deep, Mariana Trench in Western Pacific Ocean measuring 35,840 feet. The point farthest from the middle of the Earth is the peak of the volcano Chimborazo in Ecuador at 20,561 feet, farthest from the middle of the planet earth stemming from its position close to the equator and the oblateness of the Earth.
Highest temp registered is 135.8°F in Al Aziziyah, Libya dated September 13, 1922, as the lowest temperatures recorded was 128.5°F measured in Vostok, Antarctica dated July 21, 1983. Water vs. Land measures 70.8% is water and 29.2% is land. Chronological age of our planet is from 4.5 to 4.6 billion years.
Earth’s atmosphere contents are 77% nitrogen, 21% oxygen, and traces of argon, carbon dioxide and water. Chemical like structure of the Earth is 34.6% Iron, 29.5% Oxygen, 15.2% Silicon, 12.7% Magnesium, 2.4% Nickel, 1.9% Sulfur, and.05% Titanium. Earth rotates on its axis 23 hours and 56 minutes and 04.09053 seconds, but it requires another four minutes to make the earth to revolve towards the same position as the previous day relative to the sun and Earth’s revolution around Sun is 365.2425 days.
