Obama, Roberts and Correcting the Constitution

mark@toplevel.com — Wed, 21 Jan 2009 00:00:00 +0100

Obama's eagerness to take the oath and the urgency of proper grammar for Chief Justice Roberts resulted in the necessity for a "do-over" on the oath of office taken by our 44th President on Tuesday.

Obama says his name twice, interrupting Justice Roberts "I, Barack...", but Roberts decides mid-0ath, to edit the Constitution.

As comedian Robert Wuhl points out in his deconstruction of the Constitution, our country was founded on a document with a graRead More...

Eagles Get "Hoculi"d

mark@toplevel.com — Sun, 18 Jan 2009 00:00:00 +0100

With less than two minutes to go in the 2009 NFC Championship, Donovan McNabb of the Philadelphia Eagles threw a pass on 3rd down that would have yielded a first down. As the Cardinal defender fell, he reached out and tripped the Eagles receiver before the ball had arrived. The officials on the field let the play end as an incomplete pass.

As with Ed Hoculi's horrific call in the Charger/Denver game that cost the Chargers a chance to win, the officials killed an Eagles comeback. Read More...

Sisters Gift Shop now has the

Fragrance Lamps

Fragrance lamps combine a 100 year old concept of air purification with the pleasures of exotic fragrances. The air purification technologydestroys all odors and airborne bacteria and dispenses a wonderful aroma into the home. Fragrance lamps convert fragranced fuel into anions (negatively charged ions) and ozone via the catalyzing stone. An ozone molecule consists of three oxygen atoms bonded together to form a molecule (O3). Ozone Read More...

Spiritual/Emotional Health

sherrymft@yahoo.com — Fri, 25 Jul 2008 21:45:14 +0100

Welcome to my blog where I hope to share some insights to encourage my fellow humans on this journey we call "life". As a Christian, I realize more and more each day that our spirituallife has a deep and profound impact upon our emotional health and well-being. I know beyond a shadow of a doubt that I feel my best when I start my day with a reading in the Bible and a prayer written in my journal to my Heavenly Father. In addition to this, I take a 30-45 minuteRead More...

Communication in your Relationship: 3 Tips on what NOT to do

jestes@estestherapy.com — Wed, 07 May 2008 09:39:42 +0100

Communication: What Not to do

1. Don't tell your partner how they feel. Avoid telling your partner what you think they are feeling or why they did something. This will push your partner away. Many of my couples that come into counseling try to tell me what their partner feels or thinks. The thing that I start to uncover in my counseling sessions is that what they "thought their partner felt or thought" wasn't true. My job as a Read More...

Countdown to SD

Specs4youreyez@verizon.net — Sat, 15 Mar 2008 08:35:00 +0100

Feeling a little sorry for myself last week, I went searching for "cheap airfares" to San Diego. Thinking I'd never find anything in my ever shrinking budget, I was pleasantly surprisedto find airfare that I could actually afford! Had to wait a few days to book it, making sure I could get time off work, and see if my brother would have me for a few days. Both worked out ok, so I booked it! I'll be leaving here on the evenign of June 17th! Just a little oRead More...

USD Toreros vs. Gonzaga

mark@toplevel.com — Tue, 19 Feb 2008 00:20:16 +0100

...or "Brandon Johnson vs. the entire Gonzaga Team"

I attended the sold out USD vs. Gonzaga basketball game tonight. Basketball is my first sport, so I got into the game a little more than I expected. And I was disappointed by what I saw. Not justbecause USD lost by four points in a pretty low scoring game, but for how far away from successful basketball strategy the team stayed during the game.

The beauty of the team sport of basketball is the integration of the Read More...

Where have you gone John Madden and Al Michaels

mark@toplevel.com — Mon, 24 Dec 2007 22:03:58 +0100

Listening to the refugees from trash talk AM radio who stole Monday Night Football, I realized what was so irritating about their uninterruptable - even by events in the game - stream of opinions andnon-sequiturs. Watching the Charger/Denver game Christmas Eve, just before the half, there were four plays in a row where the "play by play" announcer interrupted the unrelated game commentary only long enough to tell us what had already happened. "Cromartie catches a pass". Read More...

It's been 1 year and 2 weeks since I moved to Vegas and I'm looking for an escape route.I've never met so many hateful people in my life,this is truly the worst city in America. Concerts are different here,all concerts happen in casino's.No one overhere tailgates before a concert.I really miss going to Coors Amphitheatre in the middle of summer to see a concert or going to the Sports Arena and tailgating before a rock concert.The bar scene is different here too.When yoRead More...

ESPN ruins Monday Night Football

mark@toplevel.com — Tue, 13 Nov 2007 08:00:35 +0100

Ok, I've watched three separate presentations by ESPN of Monday Night Football, the show that brought pro football to the weekdays with legends like Howard Cosell, Don Meredith, Al Michaels and John Madden. Even during one sided games, the game was still the focus of the conversation.

I remember the first season the Tampa Bay Buccanees played on Monday night. They were losing big and the stands were empty. One fellow, near the end zone was laying across a couple of seaRead More...

more fire update

mlrels@yahoo.com — Wed, 24 Oct 2007 22:32:22 +0100

HI Kids - Here is yet another fire update. In my last update, written Monday night (10/23/07), I mentioned I would sleep good that night knowingI had done the best I could in a difficult situation. Unfortunately, I was incorrect. I got no sleep at all that night although I continued to do the best I could. After my last update, I made dinner for the three firefighters who were going to stay overnight at my home. These guys came from station 23 in Rocklin, CA, near SaRead More...

Very Dangerous Fires

mlrels@yahoo.com — Tue, 23 Oct 2007 23:31:15 +0100

There are two really dangerous fires which are moving toward the coast at a rapid pace due to extreme Santa Ana conditions and there are not nearly enough fire fighting resources to stop them. The entire town of Ramona is under mandatory evacuation orders as of an hour ago and just now eastern Escondido is being evacuated. That is a couple of miles from Ron and Melody's house and it includes over 10,000 homes. A bunch of smaller communities are in danger or already have burned. Read More...
