    NETHERLANDS RECLASSIFIES STRONG CANNABIS AS HARD DRUG
    October 7, 2011 - Netherlands

    The Dutch government began the process to reclassify strong cannabis into the hard drugs category. The change would mean that coffee shops that sell the drug would no longer be able to sell cannabis with more than 15% THC, the active chemical in the drug.

    MOON'S DARK SIDE
    October 7, 1959 - Dark Side of the Moon

    The dark far side of the Moon was photographed for the first time and pictures relayed back to Earth by Russia's Luna 3 spacecraft. After passing the moon, the Luna 3 looked back from a distance of 63,500 km to take 29 photos of the sunlit far side of the moon. The photos, taken over a period of 40 mins. were developed onboard and radioed back to earth on 18 Oct 1959. They covered 70% of the far side. The photographs were very noisy and of low resolution, but many features could be recognized. Despite the poor quality, they provided the first view ever of this part of the moon. (The far side of the moon cannot be viewed from earth because the moon rotates and revolves in such a way that the same part always faces Earth.)

  • Happiness
    by Thomas Jefferson

    "...Our greatest happiness does not depend on the condition of life in which chance has placed us, but is always the result of a good conscience, good health, occupation, and freedom in all just pursuits...."
  • A Change is Gonna Come
    by Meredith Grey

    "...Change; we don't like it, we fear it, but we can't stop it from coming. We either adapt to change, or we get left behind. It hurts to grow, anybody who tells you it doesn't is lying. But here's the truth: Sometimes the more things change, the more they stay the same. And sometimes, oh, sometimes change is good. Sometimes change is everything...."

    about Stolen On New Year's

    More vehicles are stolen on New Year's Day than any other holiday throughout the year. (So does that mean thieves are having their last fling before changing their ways or are they trying for a big score to start the New Year?)

ARTICLE INFORMATION :

When God created the earth, the animals, vegetation and all other living things, man was the only creation that was initially created that was not able to reproduce himself. Then God said that it was not good for man to be alone so he made woman to be a helpmate for the man and also to reproduce the species.

When God created the earth, the animals, vegetation and all other living things, man was the only creation that was initially created that was not able to reproduce himself. Then God said that it was not good for man to be alone so he made woman to be a helpmate for the man and also to reproduce the species. Man had no idea at that time how fortunate he was not to have the task of perpetuating his species (childbirth) placed on his shoulders.

As circumstances would have it, 4 very strong women raised me without having a male presence in the household. My family migrated to Los Angeles, California from Hot Springs, Arkansas in the early 1940s right after the start of World War II. Like so many minority males in our society, my real father fell victim to alcoholism, being a weak man, and did not participate in my upbringing.

My Great-Aunt Lula was an Apostolic minister, my Grandmother, Mother, and Aunt Nita were very instrumental in guiding me through my childhood and instilling a Judeo-Christian moral base in me. The morals that were taught then are still in effect today and have served me well for over 60 years. The terms "please", "thank you", "excuse me", and "I apologize" are timeless and will always be in relevant.

I do not know or understand how the erroneous notion that "women are inferior to men" started in history, but I can assure you that has never been the case. As far as I have been able to observe, if the truth were known, males are usually lacking in many areas that women excel in. It could be that women communicate better with each other and are more honest about the issues that are meaningful concerning life. This is just my take on this situation.

Also women are more compassionate and show their true feeling more readily than males as a rule. I suppose that God build this function within the woman because of the job she has to do (child rearing.) While it is a truth that women "think differently" than men, their decisions are usually tempered with emotions that men are reluctant to exhibit and therefore the female results may seem to be logical and workable concerning life issues.

There are extremes that can be taken in any area and the "women's movement" is no exception. Since I am part of the "Baby-Boomer" generation (era 1960s), then I have been around to see recent history in the works. While women in America have historically been denied equal status granted to their male counterparts in many areas such as business, I believe that the point has been made to validate their worthiness in all areas that they have chosen to pursue. It is time to face reality, put the myths and prejudices to rest, and get on with the business of restoring America to it's prominence as a world leader.

Looking back over my life, I find that having the advantage of being trained by women and observing the feminine point of view at a young age has given me a great advantage to contemplate life from a balanced perspective as a male.

When I finished my basic high school education I entered the U.S. Army and served my country for 3 years. During this time I was introduced to the concepts of "being a man" and was able to "balance" my thinking with what I had previously learned at home, something referred to as "mother wit." I truly believe this knowledge has kept me well grounded mentally and given me a sense of my true identity. An additional benefit of my military tour was that I was able to visit Europe and observe other countries and learn about their cultures.

I have been happily married for the past 30 years and I have been blessed with 4 Great-Grandchildren who adore me. The feeling is mutual and now my job is to assist in raising them and passing on the values that I have learned that have produced positive results for me.

I thank God everyday for the privilege to still be here with my family and the opportunity to see my Great-Grandchildren and have a hand in molding their young lives. Everyday is like Christmas; we never know what the next package contains. (smile)

I stand by my title, "God Bless Women And Especially Mothers Everywhere."
