Hi everyone,

In view of the events of the past 7 days in Honduras and, in our opinion, the tremendous MISINFORMATION by the international media, we want to direct you to a website that gives a more balanced view of these events.

Honduras really needs prayer as the very fabric of democracy in this nation is threatened right now. The international community has not understood the situation here, nor the danger the former president represented to this country. Honduras sought to remove him legally, and the military arrested him obeying orders of the Congress, and shipped him to Costa Rica. We have not, to our knowledge, been controlled at any time by the military here but by the 3 branches of the civil government. Honduras might could have done this is a better way, but they were pushed into an almost impossible situation by the former president and we must go forward from here. We understand that Honduras is looked on as a violent, undemocratic country by the majority of Americans, but that perception is incorrect. Honduras has tried to stand up FOR, not against democracy through its actions. Please share this with others so that the perception stateside of Honduras can be corrected.

Concerned Hondurans in conjunction with concerned Americans have created the website below for the purpose of informing the international community about the events that are happening in the country of Honduras. There is much misinformation being reported that we are seeking to correct via articles that are balanced. Please check in often as the situation down here is very fluid. We have seen international new reports with pro-democracy, anti-Zelaya protesters in the background, and the reporter declaring that they were pro-Zelaya protesters (since it was an English newscast, no one would have known the difference). Presently the atmosphere is calm, but with the ex-president announcing that he will return to Honduras this weekend, and the UN declaring that Honduras restate him or face the consequences, this could change quickly. There is an order for the ex-president’s arrest once he steps foot in Honduras due to various unconstitutional actions on his part. You can read more about this on the website below.

Please inform yourselves, and then pray in an informed way. (Nehemiah 1:2-4). We would ask that you send this email and website to others that need a balanced perspective of these events.

Paul Venezia wonders the same thing I did when I first read reports about over-heating.

I’ve read that some folks first noticed the problem when they kept the phone under their pillow (why you would do this kinda escapes me, but OK)  … My iPhone 3GS: Not So Hot – PC World.

Of course none of this stopped me from ordering the new Iphone 3GS.  When it gets here, and if It overheats, It will be under warranty and I’ll take it back.  And if they issue a recall, I’m fine w/ that.

The July 25th Festival time-change to a 5 – 8 pm rather than 3-7 pm Due To HEAT

Most of the folks who attended and/or worked the event realize the urgency to change the start and end time of the festival due to the heat index possibilities for July and perhaps even August.

The start time of the July 25th festival is 5 pm w/the end time at 8 pm.

An outdoor movie will follow.

Savannah Dogs will be on the menu to be cooked by the fire department.

This event will not include a cook-off.

The festival will continue to include children’s activities.
The featured band is ‘Littlefield,’ who also will be opening for the September rock concert sponsored by the Darryl Worley Foundation.

For those of you who can share this information with your church bulletin organizer, please try to have it placed in the upcoming church bulletins.

Thank you.

It’s all fine.  They don’t have to give you a nag-free year to begin with. If you don’t want to pay for your operating system, then get Ubuntu (or some other flavor of Linux).

Okay, enough ranting. What’s the answer, Ron?  Right now, I’m extremely impressed with Exaile.  It has all the features I use the most and sounds great.  It lacks a way to sync my mp3 player with it (at least I haven’t found one yet) but I can still drag and drop.  There is a plug-in for Ipod, but I’m not using an Ipod so I am not sure how well that works.  Feel free to leave your thoughts/comments/rants below.

Only two hick-ups so far.  The first, compiz boogered up on my leaving my Panels (or menu bars as some call them) not displaying properly.  I finally had to reset them back to square one.  Which is really easy to do, thanks to this post: How to Reset Ubuntu/Gnome Settings to Defaults without Re-installing.

My next minor problem was even easier to fix: Hide the drive and partition icons from my desktop.  Ubuntu question #2625: “removing icons from the desktop”.

I also had to reconfigure my compiz settings manually. Everytime I restored from the back up profile, it boogered up something again making me reset my gnome defaults.

If you are a Ubuntu newbie and don’t understand half of what I just said, please feel free to post a comment or check in the Ubuntu Forums.  We were all new once.

Don’t have Ubuntu or even know what it is?

Check out their website: www.ubuntu.com or nag me to put up a screencast of my own desktop.

The Ctrl-Alt-Backspace key combination to force a restart of X is now disabled b default, to eliminate the problem of accidentally triggering the key combination. Users who do want this function can enable it in their xorg.conf, or by running the command dontzap –disable.

Broken Vista

No wallpaper sums up my feelings about vista as much as this one.  Sweet.

Well.. maybe this mod of it
