Um, well, sure.  God can talk to us through an ass if he wants, but we're
fooling ourselves if we set ourselves up for ass-only communication.

That's my family on TV!

As ever, abundant links at the blog post itself.

http://filmchatblog.blogspot.com/2006/02/thats-my-family-on-tv.html

Those who have kept tabs on my collection of baby pictures at Flickr.com
might have noticed that there are currently almost no photos of my wife
Deanna there.

This is partly because she and I tend to visit the babies at different
feeding times, so as to give them collectively more time with their
parents; and this is also partly because, on those occasions when we do go
together, she is busy feeding them and, if I do take any photos, I tend to
think of them as being for the family only.

But now, thanks to the CBC, you can all see her feeding the twins anyway!
Click here for the text version of a story about Canada's only milk bank,
which includes links to RealVideo and QuickTime video files in which
Deanna gets a 13-word soundbite.

The interview, and the footage of Elizabeth in her incubator and Thomas
being fed, was shot at the BC Women's Hospital only a few days after their
birth on February 4. The twins have been at St. Paul's Hospital -- only
three blocks down the road from our apartment -- since February 11, and
rumour is, they may finally be coming home this Friday. Life is about to
get even cuh-razier.

Re: That's my family on TV!

Oh, and as ever, if anybody here knows enough about RealVideo files to
figure out how to download the actual *file* instead of the CBC's *link*
to the file, I would be forever in your debt.

Re: That's my family on TV!

The Quicktime is easy enough it is just a file you can rick click,
save as... I don't use Real Player myself (unless there is no option)
so I can't say. I do know there are programs out there that will allow
you to capture the stream -  I'm sure some other brains around here
will know...

Is this enough to be half in your debt forever?

Right, but the thing is, the QuickTime file's picture quality isn't
anywhere near as good ...

Why am I reminded of former Prime Minister Jean Chretien, who once
famously asked, "Am I the only one here with half a brain?"  :)

LOL! :-)

It reminds me of Bilbo with "I don't know half of you half as well as
I should like; and I like less than half of you half as well as you
deserve."

I know some churches that apparently...oh wait you meant....

;-)

And actually that was my point.  I dont think any forum should be disdained 
out of principle.

God has shown up in strange places before.

#651: Pipes asks in NY Sun, "Civil War in Iraq?"

Civil War in Iraq?

by Daniel Pipes
New York Sun
February 28, 2006
http://www.danielpipes.org/article/3423

The bombing on February 22 of the Askariya shrine in Samarra, Iraq, was a
tragedy, but it was not an American or a coalition tragedy.

The destruction of the Golden Dome, built in 1905 and one of the holiest
shrines of Shiite Islam, represents an escalation of the Sunni assault on
the Shiites, a purposeful outrage intended to provoke an emotional
backlash. It signals not Sunni weakness but the determination of elements
in Iraq's long-ruling community to reassert its dominance. Iraq's
president, Jalal Talabani, has rightly warned, "The fire of sedition, when
it breaks out, can burn everything in its path and spare no one." One
shudders at the possible carnage ahead.

That said, Iraq's plight is neither a coalition responsibility nor a
particular danger to the West.

When Washington and its allies toppled the hideous regime of Saddam
Hussein, which endangered the outside world by beginning two wars of
