					<description><![CDATA[Did I miss something about Denver actually getting their lights shut off?  I know that they must be one of the many struggling orgs that has trouble bringing in enough money to keep the utilities on, and probably, typically, is continually behind on their bills, but did it actually suffer disconnection (by the electrical utility)?

Besides a couple of attention-getting pieces like the typical uphill struggle of the Perth org to try to catch up with vast burden of their antiquated paper filing system, I was was struck by the general unrealistic tone of most of them - divorced from real-world results or specific numeric accomplishments (other than Perth&#039;s apples-and-oranges numbers, masking the fact that they are only getting half or less of the hours per week of help, that they need), and full of wishful, meaningless &quot;postulates.&quot;

It&#039;s particularly interesting to see the specific claim about an &quot;Upcoming TV and Radio Station&quot; - I&#039;ve figured that SuMP would eventually webcast at least some minimal material (perhaps largely just the promotional videos they already have online, along with a bit of new production) in order to meet their promise of &quot;reaching billions,&quot; and they could claim a TV channel if they ever actually put their cable channel reservation to use (probably with the same sort of material), but in order to do real radio broadcasting they&#039;d have to apply to the federal government for a license to restart the old facilities they bought, a process that can take years.]]></description>

I like it too.  When I lived in a 3rd world country for 2 years, we ate beans and rice every day.  It was a diet staple there, like potatoes would be, or pasta.  Then again, we ate other things WITH the rice and beans - fish/beef/chicken and salad and fruit. Some cheese but hardly any dairy to speak of because the milk wasn&#039;t safe.  Very little bread or cake or pie because the baked goods weren&#039;t!  Plenty of rice, beans, fruit, salad, fish, chicken...very healthy. I had a 23 inch waist when I lived there, having no access to American junk food.]]></description>

Agreed on all, Peter.  &quot;Wasted talent&quot;.  She was naturally beautiful, effortlessly photogenic, had impeccable comedic timing, and in certain roles showed she had the depth to do serious drama too.   Total tragedy.]]></description>

He probably could be actor of depth if in his advanced middle age he&#039;d just put aside the pretty-boy action  hero roles occasionally, but he never does.  So he&#039;s a hack - a popular, highly paid hack, but a hack actor, nevertheless, who sticks with his own brand.  And at this point it doesn&#039;t look like we&#039;re ever going to be able to get down deep with him, because very likely he doesn&#039;t have any deep to get down to.]]></description>

I agree - I can&#039;t get through anything he wrote.  How this man made a living as a writer eludes  me.  No wonder people had to look up all the words - it kept them awake.]]></description>

Can&#039;t upvote anymore or I would at that picture.  lol

On another note, what do you mean the man who &quot;used&quot; to be the world&#039;s best scientologist?  Did his fall from the side of the building snap some common sense back into his head through his broken foot?

why did he not do a touch assist by having himself slammed against the building a few more times?]]></description>

for energy yes, but a body needs more nutrition than that to be truly healthy.  You can usually tell when a body isn&#039;t nourished properly, especially after long periods of time.  Not always true though.  Butter is really good for us indeed!  I love bland foods too, my husband is opposite :)]]></description>

Imagine being in the maternity ward, about to pop, when some sinister old pervert hobbles past, gleefully drooling at the thought of possessing your newborn. Ugh!]]></description>
