Sumerian Lexicon 1

I know how hard it is to find these words. There's no translation for you at Babelfish, either. Trust me, I've wanted this language used in the site or at least in a Sumerian to English Dictionary like they have for just about every other language. Not sure if they have it for gaalic though, although i will be putting some out there in the future, my readers.

I began to research the Sumerian *it was really hard to take out the second M there for a while in the beginning* after watching the movie The Fourth Kind with my husband. It scared me. It intrigued me. It made me sad for Abbey Tyler and her clients and how her son treated her the way he did after what happened to his father and saddened about what her daughter went through becomig blind after her husband... watch the movie to know what i'm talkinng about. Poor Abbey. I swear...what a strong woman to continue on.

Each word and its explanation is seperated by black and red checkered list. Enjoy. Have fun. And don't tear your hair out with the pronounciation.

Persecution

Political and religious animosity against Jehovah's Witnesses has at times led to mob action and government oppression in various countries. Their doctrine of political neutrality and their refusal to serve in the military has led to imprisonment of members who refused conscription during World War II and at other times where national service has been compulsory. In Germany, as many as 12,000 Witnesses were sent to concentration camps,^[243] and were identified by purple triangles; as many as 5000 died.^[244] More than 200 men were executed at the orders of German war courts.^[245] In Canada, Jehovah's Witnesses were interned in camps^[246] along with political dissidents and people of Chinese and Japanese descent.^[247] In the former Soviet Union, about 9300 Jehovah's Witness families were deported to Siberia as part of Operation North in April 1951.^[248][249] Their religious activities are currently banned or restricted in some countries, including China, Vietnam and some Islamic states.

Boy Dresses Like Girl

What would you do? Is there something wrong with your child? Is it a phase? Is it something to worry about long down the road or in the near future?

Not really...

Your child knows that there's something wrong with their body and woops! god got the gender potion mixed up in the process. I'd allow it with certain conditions and allow the conditions to change little by little as they grow up:
Let the boy dress like a girl at home to start out.
Allow him to dress like a girl while shoppiing.
Allow him to dress like a girl during the summers, but as a boy during school. (schools might not allow them an education at their facility even if they feel they were given the wrong body)
Allow them to use makeup only during Drama class.
Make a deal in the future to discuss it further; that's if you're trying to let them get the phase out of their system.
Why not let them dress like a boy (with or without male persona) at home, but when they go out they can dress like a girl if they wanted to. (Maybe this should be established before the rule is set. Talk to him).
Allow him to dress as he likes as long as its not your clothes. (If they really want it, they should perhaps start with their own collection.)
Take them shopping!! Help them explore their taste(s).
Dont critisize them or you'll be sorry later.
Talk to your child about the physical and psychological dangers of living this life in the open.
Support the name/sex change.  (doesn't mean you HAVE to pay for it though, that's not what i meant. but it would be their dream come true if you did at least help).
Talk to them that memories can't be taken back, but forgiven.
If its brought to your attention through violence toward your child, set them nasty people straight that how they live is their choice. Your son has every right to live emotionaly, physically, psychologically, etc as they know they are a girl.
SHOW THEM LOVE AND ACCEPTANCE.

These are ideas i've come up with or had help with or found. If you would like to add any that you don't see (NO NEGATIVITY). If you don't like the post, youdont have to comment. Simpley pass on to the next post.

Bullying 2

Students don't often speak up because they do not expect those in authorative postitions to do anything (let alone get them some help) about the problem(s). Even teachers bully their students and/or make fun of them or call them stupid (like my math teacher Mrs. Goldstien) for not getting what other students in the class get and are surpassing the other student(s). Just because the teacher and a few students get it, doesn't mean everyone else gets it too. WAKE UP!

Mexicans get made fun of being 'illegal' or thought of being in a gang. Blacks get considered gang members also and drug dealers or thugs. The strange or darkly attired get called occoltists, animal sacrificers, deviil worshipers (there's a difference between Satanists and being Satanic) or they are called outcasts or loners (only because you think they are or you do not see them among friends at scool or on the outs of school. SpEd students are Special Educations particapants who take extra study halls/special math etc. People call them retards/dorks/losers or consider them too smart to ever be cool. Guess who makes that ipod or cell phone or computer you are all over?... The poor get made fun of for their lack in designer brand clothes or objects. They get called scumbags, too. A real scumbag is the one who bullies others or is a horrid person on the inside while maybe being beautiful or handsome on the outside. How you treat others determines you to be this. Some call the poor incestial or incest babies. Get real. Not everyone marries or sleeps with their cousins or brothers and sisters to keep the bloodline 'clean' like your precious Egyptian royalties back in the day or your Greek and Roman rulers and those English, ya know.

Don't believe me? Read the(real) history books.

A student shouldn't have to end their life to end the pain. Take action! Save a child. Save a friend. They'll thank you later.

Does your boss and/or co-workers herass you to no end? Is it making fun of you behind your back or to your face or is it in front of others-including personal visitors? Is it sexual bullying? Doees your boss and/or co-workers hit on you or make suggestive or lewd comments? Do you ignore them or are you the one who sleeps with in order to keep your job? You shouldn't have to do that. Do you lose rightful promotions for your lack of sex or for being who you are without the sex?

STOP!

Those are wrong things for your bosss and/or co-workers to do to you. A position t work is NOT deserved by sex, sexuality, gender, background, etc. It's earned through hard work and smarts. How many jobs have/do you have where you're in the grind just to have a place to come home to or food that doesn't come from the garbage? You don't have to like your job or co workers but you dont have to take being bullied either. If it's co-workers, go to the boss. If it's the boss, go higher up (Or the BetterBusinessBeurue).

Ever hear the phrase they bully you because they want to be your friend? It may sound lame, but sometimes it's true.

You shouldn't be bullied by your friends either. Did you ever think or wonder if your jokes or teasing effects people around you? Too much could send someone over the edge, even if you didn't mean it or didn't realize you do it to that extent. Maybe you can't stop yourself. Maybe youu don't know that it hurts them.

You have no idea how an appology feels until one is given to you that you really need. Even bullies have feelings.

Do I Need a Ring 2 Get Married?

NO

Does the Bride Really Need a Dress?

No, not really.
You could make your own, wear a dress you already own, wear street clothes, dress up in nice attire, etc.

Just because Princess Di and all those other flashy celebs had one, does not mean you need a dress too. If your budget doesn't cover it, dont worry. If you really want that white wedding, than save up as you grow up. Until you have the money, you might have to have (gasp) a low budget wedding with all those flowers and pearls and blah blah blah.

Take it from me, its not the dress that matters, it's the guy you're spending forever with.
A dream wedding could take your marriage's eternity to pay off.

only the rich care if they're Broke-Ass-Brides

OPTIONS

Make your own

Have a friend make it

Clothe-A-Child

It's purpose is to provide new clothing to deserving children who might not otherwise receive the needed wardrobe. The program is conducted annually on a Saturday in October.

Volunteers are an essential part of this exciting program. Please take a moment and see how you might help, and be fulfilled, in giving your time to a child in need.

Don't feel bad if you need their help to clothe your babies, mommas. They need it like you need their love. Its noting to be asamed of. More people use the program than you think.

Here is a story of a mother or two who had two sons that grew like weeds who needed winter clothes for them that fit and were in great shape. Her sister helped her sign up for the program to help her out. This program is sponssered by The Morning Journal and all $ donated goes to the CAC program to contribute to families in need during the winter/christmas season.

Maddy says she does not receive any child support for her sons and, unable to find a job, has to support them using government assistance. After all the bills and rent is paide, the wallet is pretty much dried up and unable to spend on rediculous things the rich use once then set it in the back of the garage for the rest of eternity. Not to mention that her foodstamps don't quite meet the requirements to feed their mouths all month long. (When are they ever??)  and her two sons have issues that could hardly eet what she calls the right care; asthmatic and ADHD.

Readers can donate funds in person at The Morning Journal, online through the The Morning Journal’s website (www.morningjournal.com/mlt) or by sending checks or money orders made out to: The Mary Lee Tucker Clothe-a-Child Program and mailed to: The Mary Lee Tucker Clothe-a-Child Program, c/o The Morning Journal, 1657 Broadway, Lorain, OH 44052.

Bullied Women at Abortions

Don't know about you, but I am PRO CHOICE. A woman should have all rights to their bodies and the life within. No, I'm not saying that a cheating wife should get an aborition just to save her own ass, but it would be her choice to explain things when he grows up looking like dad's best friend. I do absolutely believe that a woman who was raped or a product of family/family affair, than they deserve the abortion. No one sould have a choice made for them. A pregnant teen has every right to want to abort her pregnancy, but maybe she wants the option of open adoption or just plain give-up adoption. Don't blow off a chance at giving the child a chance to live just because it's an inconveniance or that it would get in the way of your continuing party life. Give the child a chance to grow up with posotive options. a family that could take care of them.

Another scarey thing is adoption. Giving the child blindly to others who seem fine could be fatal and sexually abusive. A woman might let her husband rape them at bed time. A single man might rape or sell them to pay their way or support a drug habit. A foster child might even get pregnant by their foster parent and no one would believe them except friends. The system might be believed that it was just a sleep-around symptom against fun. But what ever the choice it may be, be carefully deciding.

A pro choice does not mean murder.
Any state or facility that releases your file on the internet for the public to find is against doctor patient confidentiality and you might win for suing, but dont do just that just because you read it on the internet. Be smart. Make your own choices and do the correct legal thing for you and your baby.
These are a few REDICULOUS laws that bully women who abort.


Describing ultrasounds: Because requiring ultrasounds is not enough, technicians in Oklahoma, Alabama, Louisiana, and Mississippi are required to describe what they see (eyes, a hand, maybe even the sex) during an ultrasound up to an hour before the abortion. Victims of rape and incest are not spared the theatrics.

1. Post patient questionnaires online: Oklahoma requires women to fill out a questionnaire, which asks potentially identifying questions, and then posts it online.
2. Provide info on fetus's ability to feel pain: Nine states are required to tell women how much pain the fetus will feel. This seems like fine information before a woman decides, but afterward?
3. Report inaccurate info on an abortion-breast cancer link: Out of the seven states whose required info provides material on breast cancer risks after abortions, five (Alaska, Mississippi, Oklahoma, Texas, and West Virginia) inaccurately report an increased risk.
4. Focus only on negative reactions: Most calls were about guilt over feeling relief. Yet out of the 17 states that provide info on possible psychological responses to abortions, seven (Michigan, Nebraska, South Carolina, South Dakota, Texas, Utah, and West Virginia) focus on the negative only.

Morning Kisses

Getting a morning kiss actually increases your heart rate and decreases stress. Which means, folks, that all those morning kisses you get from your sweetheart have not been just our of routine. They do something good for your body as well.

ET Stayed At the Ramada

Story by:: Larry Knowles
(Nov. 29) -- A Michigan man claiming to possess an ice meteorite rich in extraterrestrial organisms will announce in a news conference Tuesday that alien life, at long last, has been found. The announcement will take place at a Ramada Inn in South Haven, Mich.

"I prayed for Jesus to send me an ice meteorite, because I knew it would be quite valuable," Duane P. Snyder, 65, said of the chunk of ice he found on a South Haven roadway in 2000.

Valuable indeed. For centuries, humankind has sought confirmation that it isn't alone in the universe. If Snyder's claim is accurate, the South Haven resident will be catapulted to worldwide fame, and the Ramada Inn, 50 miles west of Kalamazoo, will likely become an iconic landmark for the human race.

Duane P. Snyder

E.T. may phone home -- from a Ramada Inn in South Haven, Mich. The red object above was found embedded in a chunk of ice in 2000. The owner of the chunk, Duane P. Snyder, believes the squiggle is an alien life form and will discuss his finding at the Ramada Inn this week.

In March 2000, Snyder noticed several chunks of ice on the road near his home. Since it hadn't snowed for weeks, he deduced that the ice must have been an ice meteorite. After gathering up a few pieces and stashing them in his freezer, he spent the next 10 years trying to convince scientists to analyze the frozen mass.

However, Snyder received little interest from the scientific community, and in September, he paid to have chemical analyses performed by two commercial laboratories. What the labs found -- that samples contained particles with unique molecular structures -- convinced Snyder that he indeed had in his possession alien life forms.

He has set up a website, snydericyrite.com, where people can purchase the lab reports and photos of the particles. He's given the particles descriptive names, such as "Red Watani Worm," "Six Legged Life Form" and "Clear Snakelike Life Form."

In a phone interview with AOL News, Snyder emphasized that more rigorous analysis is needed to determine just what sort of alien life form he has, adding that the prohibitive cost has so far prevented him from getting tests done.

"I'm hoping some scientist calls and says, 'Hey, Duane, I'll do it for you,'" Snyder said.

Last week, Snyder took strides toward getting that call. He issued a press release, under the headline "Ice Meteorite Found With Extraterrestrial Life-Forms," in which he announced Tuesday's news conference.

The release received worldwide distribution and, according to Snyder, media outlets from Germany, Mexico and Sweden plan to cover the story.

All the attention means that, for a brief moment, the Ramada Inn in South Haven will be at the center of the world -- or, in this case, universe. And that has the staff at the Ramada Inn slightly anxious.

"We haven't had a chance to speak with Mr. Snyder," Saima Farrukh, director of operations for the Ramada Inn in South Haven, told AOL News. "And we're all kind of curious to know what kind of life form he has."
