Wes Clark:
And I just want to underscore what Brzezinski said, and I want to take one step further. We’re not going to regain our moral authority until we actually look at the past. This is very hard for people to say, especially in an election year, because everyone likes to say let’s just focus on the future, but the truth is that some monumental mistakes were made and I believe – I come from an institution, I grew up being taught that accountability for mistakes was an essential part of leadership. There needs to be some accountability for the mistakes that are present at Guantanamo and Abu Ghraib, and I’m not talking about a couple of soldiers being court-martialed for improper behavior. This goes to the very top of organizations in the executive branch, and you know precisely which organizations I’m talking about, and you know precisely who and whose memos should be examined. And I believe that we’re not going to clear the books and really regain our authority until we’ve opened the books and looked at them.

If all else fails and you have a clear shot at the 109.2°W satellite slot (i.e. a reasonably clear southern view), you can probably get HughesNet.
I've got a sat connection, and that sometimes is about the worst kind.
Sat connections are excellent for streaming media (about all they are good for, they are extremely high latency connections, which means from the time you click on a link you'll have to wait at least a half second and generally for 1.5 seconds before the connection responds), but most sat providers will hit you almost immediately with a FAP (fair access policy) slowdown if you use much streaming media. FAP is a sat buzzword for we have bandwidth but if you use it, we'll choke your connection down to a crawl.
Of course if you pay an extremely high premimum for the connection, you might be able to avoid the FAP catch 22.
Look long and hard for other broadband connections before committing to a sat connection contract.

Julie Christy is aging beatifully. But she had true beauty to start with. I also am appalled by what some women are doing to themselves as they fight the march of time. Who do they think likes that bleached Botox look? Men, or other women their age?
Bad Art
When I was on Aruba, I was struck by how beautiful the showgirls were. They all looked like they were a healthy weight, and none had breast implants.
Ditching the bed idea, there are lots of places like libraries and cafes where you can wirelessly connect for free, and others (mainly restaurants and less friendly cafes) where you can connect for a nominal fee. In these cases you don't need to worry about buying and setting up a router.

...actually, last winter's Orygun wind-storms did a nice job of clearing out that bearing (and creating a couple of years of firewood). I just struggle with the cost of HughesNet or the other satellite providers, especially given the fact that I live at 4500 feet on the east slope of the Cascades and have learned from years of sat. dish experience that it sucks to run outside every few minutes in a blizzard to sweep off the dish with my wisk broom on the end of a 12-foot pole...

I'm very happy with my Toshiba Satellite laptop, and I hope it lives forever. Or at least long enough to outlast Vista. The HP I had prior to this had one issue. The little prong inside the hole where you plug the power cord broke off, and cost around $90 to repair. The repair lasted less than a year, and then it never would recharge reliably. I used to put heavy duty rubber bands around it to try to hold the plug in tightly enough to get a connection.

To me, the real tragic case is Jessica Lange, who was so lovely before she butchered herself to look younger. Now she just looks plastic. And with all the botox, she can't act anymore because she can't control her face muscles. Sad.

The Nation -- Four more members of the U.S. House signed on this week as cosponsors of H. Res. 333, the measure that outlines articles of impeachment against Vice President Dick Cheney for actively and systematically seeking to deceive citizens and Congress about an alleged threat of Iraqi weapons of mass destruction and an alleged relationship between Iraq and al Qaeda and for openly threatening aggression against Iran.
Congressman Bob Filner, the chair of the House Committee on Veterans' Affairs, added his name, along with another veteran Democratic representative from California, Sam Farr.
The additional cosponsorships from Washington Democrat Jim McDermott, a Vietnam-era veteran who has been one of the House's sharpest critics of the war in Iraq, and Virginia Democrat James Moran bring the number of supporters for the articles to 14, including sponsor Dennis Kucinich, D-Ohio.

Well now then terry that is another story all together you are going to need a router and of course you have to decide what kind of wireless router to use. I like to recommend the 802.11 N or Pre-N using Mimo technology. They have a much greater reach so you can get wireless all over your huge house and in the back yard. And when you install it don't use WEP that is old go with WPA at the least using 128 bit encryption. That stands fro Wi-Fi Protected Access(WPA).
---Old Spocko's M5 Computer Corner---
Now one thing you need to remember is that WPA-PSK isn't available on the older computers so be sure to check under the hood for the titanium gooneonater bearings that are attacked to the famistam then when you mizzenmast the rebop you will know that your fammin at the whizzbang is allocatable.

But if you're in civilization, you're going to be better off with cable or DSL.
If you are out in the sticks you are much better off with a long distance wireless connection. I had one for about 3 years when I lived in Montana, and was very satisfied with it. Even though the antenna on my house pointed at a access point about 15 miles away on top of a mountain, it even worked in blizzards. It may have glitched occasionally but most outages only lasted for a couple of seconds.
There were a couple of times a microwave link going to that mountaintop got blasted by winter wind storms, but the ISP company I got the link from would have things back up, within 24 hours at the worst.
When the sat contract expires next month I'm going with a new wireless ISP. Unless they are lying, they provide at about the same price I'm paying for the sat connection 3 Mbits/sec. Not bad for a net connection when you live far out in the desert amongst the rattlesnakes, roadrunner birds, cactus, and ocatillo.

My point was that the entertainment industry has only a handful of roles for older women, and even those women are expected to be wrinkle-free and plastic-breasted. You can decide not to go that way,sure, but then you might never act or sing or dance again.
That's how it is. The thinness is also mandatory. It's hard to teeter on the edge, and when your metabolic balance goes you get anorexia.
