I seem to be getting hammered again on another chat board.  I must hold unpopular opinions.  I must try not to get a complex about it, but this is the second time in under a week.

Thanks Derbrucer, except I can't get web stations.  I was hoping to record something off a tv station.

The mark of an intelligent man.

Umpopular opinions will get particularly hammered if well reasoned and carefully posited.

Hi Tomovoz!  We finally decided to donate the last layers of the cake to the poor, in hopes that they might build a shelter with them.  

I'm so sorry to have been gone so long!  Christmas has been a busy season around here.  And 2007 promises to be a very exciting year!  Not only are we getting married in May, but it looks like we will soon be the proud owners (well, kinda owners) of a four bedroom house in Tacoma!  It's a gorgeous place, and we're really excited.

Good Evening!

Just one more to go...

-And I made it through the matinee today.  "Resting my eyes" between songs seems to have helped a lot.

...Otherwise, I am feeling better.  Right now, I'm watching the Nat King Cole profile on PBS - perfect for in between show viewing.  -And I'll probably take a cat nap too before tonight's final show.

More Than 1,000 Wounded During Muslim Animal Sacrifice in Turkey
Sunday , December 31, 2006
 
ANKARA, Turkey  — One man lost his toes. Others cut their hands and legs.

Hundreds of Turks spent the first day of the Muslim feast of Eid al-Adha holiday in emergency wards on Sunday, after stabbing themselves or suffering other injuries while sacrificing startled and agitated sheep and other animals.

Muslims sacrifice cows, sheep, goats and bulls during the four-day religious holiday, a ritual commemorating the biblical account of God's provision of a ram for Abraham to sacrifice as he was about to slay his son. They share the meat with friends, family and neighbors and give part of it to the poor.

In Turkey, at least 1,413 people — called "amateur butchers" by the Turkish media — were treated at hospitals across the country, most suffering cuts to their hands and legs, the Anatolia news agency reported.

Four people were severely injured when they were crushed under the weight of large animals that fell on top of them, the agency reported. Another person was hurt when a crane, used to lift an animal, tumbled onto him, the agency said.

Three people suffered heart attacks and died while trying to restrain animals, according to television reports.

bk - How's the burning coming along?  I know sometimes it will seem like it's doing it twice... and, in essence, it is.  The first time, the files are transferred to the disc, then the second time it's permanently burned to the disc.  I know I've "seen" that when I've burned extended audio files.

Your news stories are much more interesting than what I hear from the standard media! You keep us informed of so much of what we'd otherwise miss!
