nebris	10:04a	With homeowner in doghouse, bobcats move in Bobcats lounge at a vacant and foreclosed home on Vista Palermo in Lake Elsinore. A family of feline squatters has moved into a foreclosed home in Lake Elsinore. Residents of the Tuscany Hills development first noticed the bobcats about a week ago. From The LA Times By David Kelly, Los Angeles Times Staff Writer September 5, 2008 With real estate values plummeting and foreclosed homes sitting empty, a family of bobcats apparently decided the time was right to pounce. So last week, they slipped out of the parched foothills of Lake Elsinore and into a spacious, vacant home in well-groomed Tuscany Hills. Residents of the development got their first look Aug. 27 when the feline squatters -- at least two adults and three kittens -- lolled atop a wall outside the Spanish-style house. Someone called 911, reporting mountain lions. Four police cruisers showed up and officers ordered everyone inside. But soon they were out snapping photos along with the neighbors. Bobcats are not known to attack humans, said Monique Middleton of Animal Friends of the Valley, which provides animal-control services. "But are they pussycats? No. Can they do a lot of damage? Yes," she said. "They usually look for a food and water source, and there is an old koi pond in the backyard and that's where they are headed." She said she expected the animals to move on in a few weeks, when the kittens are old enough to travel. Tuscany Hills has been hit hard by foreclosures, and the house on Vista Palermo has been empty at least six months, neighbors said. Said Scott Brown, who with his wife, Karen, moved here from Long Beach to be close to nature: "They are great neighbors, and as long as they don't want to baby-sit my kids, it's not a problem."

nebris	9:03a	"Naturally, the common people don't want war, but after all it is the leaders of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag people along. . . Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. This is easy. All you have to do is to tell them they are being attacked and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and for exposing the country to danger. It works the same in every country." ~Hermann Goering "They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety." ~Benjamin Franklin Current Mood: cynical (Comment on this)

news [ cj_news ]	4:10a	Budget getting tight As all of you from the United States know, things are getting mighty tough, even for those who were doing ok financially. Well, us owners aren't doing so hot financially. I know some of you are new so this will be the first time you read this. When we set up CommieJournal in the fall of 2007 (yes, we're almost a year old!) it was in direct response to the apparent censorship being displayed by Live Journal. Fandom was hit especially hard back then, and lots of fandom people said they'd be delighted to move if we put forth the effort to bring a LJ-clone site online. Well, we did, and there weren't very many people who made the move. Quite a few DID, however, find their way over here from GreatestJournal, which, as far as I know, is still closing down. A relative minority of folks here have paid and permanent accounts. If that doesn't change, we need to up donations. Even a dollar sent to our P.O. Box would help. With food and gas prices rising the way they have been, we, the owners, are pinched even tighter at home than we were when the server rent was $169 per month. Now, it's $89.95 per month, and even that is getting hard to come by. There are two things I'd like everyone to do: Please consider chipping in to keep CJ going, and Start telling your friends about CJ so they come over here and sign up. One of our biggest problems is a lack of advertising. In the meantime, we have no choice but to put advertising on the front page of this site. We don't want to have to run them on the pages of free accounts, but if things don't change pretty soon, we may be looking into that, as a way to keep the site up and running. I know we said we'd never do that when we started the site, but we have no gotten the response we expected to bringing it online and we don't want to desert those who DO have paying accounts. This is the reality, folks. Feel free to post suggestions if you have any. Current Mood: cynical (Comment on this)
nebris	3:47a	Swiftboating 2.0: The thematic structure of the right-wing smear campaign against Barack Obama As the means of communication have evolved, presidential campaigns have grown increasingly multifaceted, with each election featuring layers of complexity that were not present four years before. The most striking feature of the 2008 election may be the sheer volume and variation of the attacks being directed at Sen. Barack Obama. Though they come from many sources, arrive through a variety of media, and cover a wide range of subjects, a close examination reveals a unified thematic structure to these attacks. As has been extensively documented, many of the criticisms Obama has faced are based on outright falsehoods. The truth is that he is a Christian, not a Muslim; he was born in the United States; he doesn't refuse to recite the Pledge of Allegiance; he wasn't endorsed by Fidel Castro; and so on. Other attacks are outrageous distortions with a kernel of truth at their core. Click here to go to main site ..i'm not sure i can take another sixty days of this..

nebris	6:48p	Double Meme Your Life is Better Than 54% of All People Your life is pretty average, with lots of normal ups and downs. You're on the way to having a better life, as long as you focus on what's really important. Remember to take the time to do the things that you like best, and let the little things slide. No one on their deathbed ever wished that they spent more time worrying or complaining! How Does Your Life Compare? Your result for The Heart Test... Patron Saint's Heart You are 30% Independent, 50% Idealistic, 30% Intimate, and 55% Indulgent! The Patron Saint's Heart Dependent, Realistic, Passionate, Indulgent You are the most protective of hearts, the Patron Saint. You crave love and value harmony with your match. You are passionate and rambunctious, but at the same time you are observant and down-to-earth about your relationships. You care deeply for those you love and will watch over them as a guiding light. You are sensual and enjoy the fiery aspects of a relationship, but can also be needy and value you and your partner as one. For this reason, you will always be on guard to protect those you love. Matches for the Patron Saint: The Bleeding Heart The Bleeding Heart craves love just as much as you do, and value harmony just as you. They are also passionate. Bleeding Hearts are more idealistic in their views, but you can very well appreciate such views, even if you don't agree with them. Bleeding Hearts need to be looked after, and will value a Patron Saint for being there for them<.br> The Lonely Heart The Lonely Heart shares all of your qualities, but is more intimate than passionate compared to you. However, this is a quality you can easily appreciate, and the Lonely Heart will cherish your protective and loving nature. The Slave to Emotions The Slave to Emotions shares your neediness and need for harmony in a relationship, but is more idealistic than you and values intimacy over passion. Both of these qualities you can appreciate, however, and the Slave will very much so appreciate your concern for them and will value your love greatly. The Soldier of Fortune The Soldier of Fortune is like you in ever way, though is a more self-absorbed and forthright than you are. You may appreciate such candor, and find that being with someone more explicit is a worthy challenge. Your exact opposite is The Rebel's Heart. Avoid Independents if you can. You are the type who needs someone to love you as much as you love them, and the Independent's tendency to be more of a loner can be difficult for you as a protector to take. Explicits may also be difficult for you to put up with, however, if you are willing to work at them (and being an indulgent you very well may be), you can make such relationships work. You might be the heart that is easiest to get along with, and can create a bond with anyone. Take The Heart Test at HelloQuizzy (Comment on this)

nebris	4:44p	Two Comments/One Responce RE: The post "Pakistani lawmaker defends honor killings" Nebs Sez: This is innate in these religions. As Mary Daly said, "If God is male, then the male is god." #1: In Islam God is not male..or female...God is just God. #2: LOL WUT have you ever studied Islam? and i don't mean studying muslims you see on TV whose actions have nothing to do with the religion. Prophet Muhammad said that the best of men among the muslims are those who treat women respectfully and equally, as well as make them happy. i'm surprised someone could actually bring themselves to make a comment as ignorant as this. Nebs Sez: Allah means The Lord, which is a 'male appellation', so therefor the statement “If God is male, then the male is god, ” is certainly applicable. But this goes deeper. It is common in all three of the Abrahamic Father/God Cults – Judaism and it's two offspring, Christianity and Islam – for 'the faithful' to know very little about the actual history of their religion. In ancient Judea, Yahweh's Consort was The Mother Goddess, Asherah, also known as The Queen of Heaven, e.g. Yahweh's 'wife'. Her followers erected wooded poles throughout the Holy Land in Her honor. They were known as Asherim or Asherot. Before it was conquered by Mohammad, Mecca was a holy site of The Triple Goddess, and The Kaaba was Her Shrine. Her Aspects were Al-Lat, “The Lady” [Her Mother Goddess Aspect], Al-Uzza, "The Most Mighty" [Her Virgin Maid/Warrior Goddess Aspect], and Menat, “Time”, [Her Crone/Death Goddess Aspect]. During The Hajj, after a Muslim has completed The ʿUmrah and conducted a vigil at Mount Arafat, they go to Muzdalifah to 'stone the Devil' by throwing rocks at three stone pillars. This is presented as a metaphor for Abraham's rejection of the Devil. But that is a smoke screen. The three stone pillars are really a form of Asherot and meant to represent Al-Lat, Al-Uzza, and Menat. The Father/God and His followers live in terror of Her and Her True Daughters, and so must suppress and oppress them at every turn. For a woman to worship The Father/God is for her to be trapped in an theological form of battered wife syndrome. Current Mood: contemplative (Comment on this)
nebris	7:29a	General Daily Horoscope We're more aware of others today and want to take their needs into consideration as we decide what to do. The Libra Moon helps us to remain objective as we try to understand our relationships. Nevertheless, we can already feel the pressure building from tomorrow's conjunction between the Sun and karmic Saturn. The sooner we tie up loose ends, the better off we'll be later on. There's no escaping our responsibilities now and no reason to procrastinate. Virgo Others may see you as a heavy-handed authority figure today. You are likely wielding more control than you realize, but there's nothing that needs to be changed right now. You should be aware that the Sun-Saturn conjunction in your sign gives you the power to pull your energy in and effectively focus your intentions on the future. ...guess I'll just keep the axe to the grindstone..

nebris	5:45a	Random ~Right now it's 57° F/14° C. That's the first time it's dropped below 60° in at least three months, maybe more. We ran the A/C only from 11:30am until a little after 8pm. And we both wore sweats and hoodies out on the porch this evening. Of course, it is supposed to go up to 95° F/35° C this afternoon, but that's life in the desert. The overall temp is going down and with will go our electric bill. During the Fall and Winter, we keep the windows open in the day and shut at night and hardly ever run the heat. That'll be a couple hundred bucks back in our pocket each month right there. And that's a Good Thing. Current Mood: calm (Comment on this)
