Weight Watchers

Like so many people, I've been telling myself that I needed to take off a few pounds since the Holidays. A few weeks ago I finally joined Weight Watchers. I decided that talking about it wasn't going to make it happen. I need a plan to follow because just winging it and trying to eat less or eat better doesn't work for me. I'm losing weight already in my first 2 weeks and feeling better.

For you Weight Watcher Point Counters out there I wanted to let you know about a popular site that shows the points for many restaurants. Dotti's Weight Loss Zone has a full listing of restaurant food and the total points for each item. I use it from time to time and thought others may benefit as well. So enjoy.

Google Apps

On the lighter side... I've been playing with Google Apps for your Domain a little. I actually setup my main email domain with them and it works very well. I specifically wanted to mention their SPAM blocking because it seems to work better than Yahoo's. I have not seen it handle any email message incorrectly yet. No messages landed into the SPAM bucket that didn't belong there, and nothing landed in the inbox that didn't belong there. In the case of landing in the inbox it seems to do a much better job than Yahoo does. Yahoo is pretty good but I have to search through the SPAM bucket a lot to find messages that it incorrectly tagged as SPAM. Google does much better at this than Yahoo... so far.

Pure Evil & It's Partners

This is not a new story, but the organization involved is so sick & evil that I just can't believe they can exist anywhere in the world, especially in the USA. The North American Man-Boy Love Association is a sick bunch of evil people and in my opinion any person or organization that does anything to help them with their cause is evil too.

On October 1, 1997, a 10 year boy in Cambridge, MA told his Grandmother that he had something to do and would be back soon. He went to find his bike, but couldn't find it. Two men coaxed him into their car promising him a new bike. They took him to the Boston Public Library where they accessed NAMBLA's website. In one of the men's diary he wrote that he turned to NAMBLA's website in order to gain psychological comfort for what he was about to do. Later, while trying to sexually assault the boy, they ended up killing him. The boy was struggling to get away from this 250 pound evil scumbag, but the scumbag sat on him in the back of the car and stuffed a gasoline soaked rag into his mouth, eventually killing the boy. Then they took the boy back to their appartement where they had sex with his dead body.

You can read more horrible details of this attack on the Court TV website or the World Net Daily website.

NAMBLA provides a "survival manual" to its evil scumbag members that tells them how to get away with this sort of stuff. So... what kind of organization would help a group like NAMBLA? The ACLU of course! The boy's parents sued NAMBLA saying that their literature was partially responsible for driving these two men to abduct and kill their son. The ACLU defended NAMBLA in this case... for free!

There is right and there is wrong. Sometimes the line between the two may be blurry, but certainly not in this case. Any sane person knows that NAMBLA is wrong, is evil and should be shut down. The ACLU could have passed over this case and put their resources into something else, but they didn't do that. They took this case. We can all thank the ACLU for supporting this sick bunch evil people's right to break the law. Think about it... then you decide.
