Getting started a little late this year
Opening Day is August 15th just north of Prince George.
Looks like we might go camping and hunting the last two days of August for the early hunt.
You know, I tell folks I am not going to hunt any more this year. But then again I don't plan on hunting any less either.
Have a good and safe hunting season this year.

Of course there is no mention of this in any main stream press. The story is verified in Google if you put in Ed Mezvinky's name. Guess it shouldn't be any shock.
Edward "Ed" Mezvinsky, born January 17, 1937, is a former congressman. A
Democrat, he represented Iowa's 1st congressional district in the United
States House of Representatives for two terms, from 1973 to 1977.
In March 2001, Mezvinsky was indicted and later pleaded guilty to 31 of 69
charges of bank fraud, mail fraud, and wire fraud. Nearly $10 million was
involved in the crimes. Shortly after his indictment, he was diagnosed with
bipolar disorder, but the judge at his trial disallowed a mental illness
defense. After serving five years in federal prison, he was released in
April 2008. He is expected to remain on federal probation until 2011, and
owes substantial restitution to his victims.
Who, exactly is "Ed" Mezvinsky? He's Chelsea Clinton's new Father in Law.Edward Mezvinsky's son, Marc, married Chelsea Clinton, daughter of former U.S President Bill Clinton and current U.S. Secretary of State and former U.S Senator from New York Hillary Rodham Clinton in Rhinebeck, New York, on July 31, 2010.[6]

I feel so calm ...
Atheists get stressed thinking about God; Christians get calmer
(August 6, 2010)
Researchers have found that atheists become anxious when thinking about God, but Christians become calmer. Researchers at the University of Toronto-Scarborough conducted two experiments, which obviously delighted the religious people and upset the atheists. Now we wonder, would the atheists have been as upset if they had to think about a mythical creature like a leprechaun? We don't think so, and if they didn't, we suggest it's because everyone knows deep down there is a God, but because atheists consciously refuse to accept this, they get stressed. Let's have a leprechaun study.
Atheist logic
An intelligent, all-powerful God couldn't create the universe, but it could create itself.

The Gloves are off... concerning NYC Mosque
WASHINGTON -- President Barack Obama on Friday forcefully endorsed building a mosque near ground zero
, saying the country's founding principles demanded no less.
"As a citizen, and as president, I believe that Muslims have the same right to practice their religion as anyone else in this country," Obama said, weighing in for the first time on a controversy that has riven New York and the nation.
"That includes the right to build a place of worship and a community center on private property in lower Manhattan, in accordance with local laws and ordinances," he said. "This is America, and our commitment to religious freedom must be unshakable."

What is holding you back????
As a man was passing the elephants, he suddenly stopped, confused by the fact that these huge creatures were being held by only a small rope tied to their front leg. No chains, no cages. It was obvious that the elephants could, at anytime, break away from the ropes they were tied to but for some reason, they did not. This man saw a trainer nearby and asked why these beautiful, magnificent animals just stood there and made no attempt to get away.
"Well," he said, "when they are very young and much smaller we use the same size rope to tie them and, at that age, it's enough to hold them. As they grow up, they are conditioned to believe they cannot break away. They believe the rope can still hold them, so they never try to break free." The man was amazed. These animals could at any time break free from their bonds but because they believed they couldn't, they were stuck right where they were.
Like the elephants, how many of us go through life hanging onto a belief that we cannot do something, simply because we failed at it once before?
How many of us have little sins that hinders our walk with God?
There is freedom and joy in Christ.
Take us the foxes, the little foxes, that spoil the vines: for our vines have tender grapes. Song of Solomon 2:15
And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. John 8:32
If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed. John 8:36

And currently in the works..... The Manga Bible!
As you can see, it's gone from "let's make the Bible easier to understand!" to "let's change the Bible to fit you!"
If you're black, or a child, a teen, a woman, a farmer, a nerd, or a homosexual then we've got a version specially designed for you!
If you're a Catholic, Seventh Day Adventist, or Jehovah's Witness we've got a special version for you!
What about the slightly overweight, balding, white dad version?
People should change to fit the Bible, not the other way around. These versions do not have any evidence of bringing revival, only confusion and division to the body of Christ. They remove, muddy, and alter key verses that affect vital doctrines such as the blood atonement, the diety of Christ, salvation, and the role of Christ in our lives.
People who say what I just said are labeled as judgmental, legalistic, and divisive, and
We need to get back to the old Authorized King James Version that brought about the greatest revivals of the last 2,000 years. Millions were saved and Christians lived right under the preaching of the AV. It has the seal, blessing, and authority of God on it.

And currently in the works..... The Manga Bible!
As you can see, it's gone from "let's make the Bible easier to understand!" to "let's change the Bible to fit you!"
If you're black, or a child, a teen, a woman, a farmer, a nerd, or a homosexual then we've got a version specially designed for you!
If you're a Catholic, Seventh Day Adventist, or Jehovah's Witness we've got a special version for you!
What about the slightly overweight, balding, white dad version?
People should change to fit the Bible, not the other way around. These versions do not have any evidence of bringing revival, only confusion and division to the body of Christ. They remove, muddy, and alter key verses that affect vital doctrines such as the blood atonement, the diety of Christ, salvation, and the role of Christ in our lives.
People who say what I just said are labeled as judgmental, legalistic, and divisive, and
We need to get back to the old Authorized King James Version that brought about the greatest revivals of the last 2,000 years. Millions were saved and Christians lived right under the preaching of the AV. It has the seal, blessing, and authority of God on it.
Ecclesiastes 8:4, "Where the word of a king is, there is power..."

Two thoughts - Gov. Brewer & Pres. Obama
Short and to the point!
Hip Hip Hooray, for Governor Jan Brewer!
In a nutshell Jan, way to go!
|
Arizona Governor vs. Phoenix Suns owner |
Does he even know the difference between truth and fabrication?
Now Barack's father served in WW ll. He said so in a speech.
Were there no reporters who double checked these statements and called the party on this?
They did for everyone else. Why not him?
Barack Hussein Obama Sr. (Obama's father)
Born 4/4/36
Died 11/24/82 at the age of 46
He was 5 years old when WW 2 started, and less than 9.5 years old when it ended.
Lolo Soetoro (Obama's step father)
Born 1935
Died 3/2/87 at the age of 52
He was 6 years old when WW 2 started, and 10 years old when it ended.
One of these guys must have been the youngest Veteran in the war.

Foul-mouthed Canadians & Lesson on Profanity
Poll: Foul-mouthed Canadians swear more often than Brits, Americans
August 4, 2010 – 10:42 am
Oh, Angus Reid polls, how we f@$!king love you.
A new poll shows that more Canadians, long characterized as as gentle and mild-mannered, admit to swearing than their British and American peers. Fully 56% of Canadians admit they are potty mouths in conversations with friends, compared with just 51% of Brits and 46% of Americans.
Canadians were also the most likely to hear colleagues swear frequently (26%), followed by Brits (24%) and Americans (18%).
But Canadians are more likely to hold their tongues when talking to family — only 27% admitted to swearing in front of relatives. One in three Britons (33%) and Americans (32%) did the same.
And get this: 12% of Canadians think it’s appropriate for politicians to wear — Vancouver Mayor Gregor Robertson must be so pleased.
Twenty-nine percent of Canadian respondents felt the same way about actors. Forty-two percent of us expect it from auto mechanics. Laywers? 15%. Doctors, 11%. And what about your local police officer? About 14% of us say it’s fine for them to let an f-bomb drop once in a while.
The survey included 1,012 Canadians and was conducted between July 20 and 23, 2010. More than 1,000 American adults and nearly 2,000 Britons also took part in the survey. The results are considered accurate within 3.1 percentage points in Canada.
The full poll results can be found here.

Here is a lesson on Profanity -
THE APATHY OF PROFANITY
While sitting at the mall I heard some swearing like none other. I turned to look and the offender was a girl who looked to be 13 or 14 years old. She was cussing like an old sailor, or an old mule skinner. No one around seemed to be disturbed by her language. So I approached her and ask her if she would kiss her mother with such a dirty mouth? She looked at me as if I was from another planet, and said “uh”. I drew her attention to her on foul language, her reaction “whatever”.
A Brief History of *&%@!
Emperor Caligula of ancient
Scholars have discovered profanity carved in Egyptian hieroglyphics.
Chaucer, medieval poet-author of The Canterbury Tales, peppered his language with obscenities, but not everyone followed suit immediately. Jonathan Swift, whose biting satire was often was often criticized, chose milder language, once objecting to the use of the word “mob” because it was too vulgar.
In the Victorian era of the 19th century, “leg” was considered sexually explicit, the terms “lib” and lower extremity were substituted.
In the 1930’s free-speech cases were won on behalf of James Joyce and other authors whose language reached a new level of profanity.
After World War II public swearing increased dramatically as soldiers brought home their barracks vocabulary.
President Truman’s freedom in swearing was once a significant campaign issue, and President Kennedy was once criticized for repeating favourite profane phrase of his father.
The
Scholars say that swearwords have not changed much over the years. People today are using the same cursed words Benjamin Franklin used in his day.
In the 1980’s and the 1990’s, even some Christian ministers use profanity, usually with the rationalization that it helps make a point.
Some Stats Quantitative Results
Overall Foul language increased overall during every timeslot between 1998 and 2002. Foul language during the Family Hour increased by 94.8% between 1998 and 2002 and by 109.1% during the 9:00 p.m. ET/PT time slot. Ironically, the smallest increase (38.7%) occurred during the last hour of prime time – the hour when young children are least likely to be in the viewing audience.
ABC Overall, offensive language on ABC decreased by 17% between 1998 and 2002.
· The amount of foul language on ABC during the second hour of prime time (9:00-10:00 p.m. ET/PT) has decreased steadily since 1998. From 1998-2000, ABC reduced the quantity of foul language by 18%. Between 2000 and 2002, foul language decreased an additional 41%. Overall, there was a 52% drop in the frequency of foul language during that time period between 1998 and 2002.
· The same holds true for the third hour of prime time (10:00-11:00 p.m. ET/PT). From 1998 to 2000, ABC experienced a 30% drop in the frequency of foul language. From 2000-2002, foul language decreased an additional 10%. Overall, there has been a 22% drop in the frequency of foul language during that time period between 1998 and 2002.
· Unfortunately, foul language during the Family Hour increased from 1998 to 2002 by 61.7%.
CBS CBS only showed improvement during the 10-11:00 p.m. time slot, reducing the volume of foul language by 22.5% between 1998 and 2002. Such content was reduced by 67% since 2000 alone.
· Foul language on CBS was much more frequent, however, during the first two hours of prime time. Foul language during the Family Hour on CBS has increased from a per hour rate of 1.29 in 1998 to 7.37 in 2002 -- an astounding increase of 471.3%.
· CBS fared no better during the second hour of prime time, going from a per hour rate of 3.20 in 1998 to 6.60 in 2002, an increase of 106.2%.
Fox Although foul language during Fox's Family Hour actually decreased by 25% between 1998 and 2002, going from a per hour rate of 7.44 to 5.58; Fox was still responsible for more than 21% of all the foul language heard during the Family Hour in 2002.
· That improvement was offset by a spike in foul language during the second hour of prime time, where foul language became 75.3% more frequent from 1998 to 2002.
NBC Foul language on NBC went up across the board, in every study period and every time slot.
· During the Family Hour, foul language increased by 114.7% from 1998 to 2002, going from a per hour rate of 3.82 to 8.2 in just four years.
· During the second hour of prime time, foul language increased by 59.4%, from 4.95 instances per hour to 7.89 instances per hour.
· During the third hour of prime time, foul language on NBC increased by 174%, from 4.38 instances per hour in 1998 to 12 instances per hour in 2002.
UPN During the Family Hour, foul language increased by 104.7% between 1998 and 2002.
· During the second hour of prime time, foul language increased a staggering 538%, from a modest 1.63 instances per hour in 1998, to 10.4 instances per hour in 2002.
WB Foul language increased during the WB's Family Hour by 188% between 1998 and 2002.
· Foul language during the second hour of prime time is up on the WB by 308.5% since 1998, from a mere 2 instances per hour to over 10 per hour.
WHEN YOU’VE HAD ENOUGH PROFANITY
LIGHT HUMOUR: Very carefully and tactfully used, light humour can be employed to criticize the offender. This is most effective with friend and depends on good taste and timing.
THE SILENT TREATMENT: Since conversations depend on give and take, a sudden refusal to respond will be noticeable. In response to offensive language, total failure to answer, or an awkward pause before answering, will signal that something is wrong. In a quiet, controlled social setting, silence is often the best choice and can be accompanied by a meaningful look.
NONVEBAL RESPONSE: Folded arms, scowl, looking away, or turning away to speak to someone else are common body language signals to report that offence has been taken at the use of profanity. Visibly wincing at obscenities indicates hurt and displeasure.
ASSERTIVENESS: A very simple, tactful statement is sometimes used to point out what might have become an unconscious habit of swearing.
Keep your words polite, calm and to the point, something like “Excuse me. I wish you wouldn’t use that kind of language. It offends me.” When done correctly, such statements are unarguable and answerable. A polite Christian witness can also be used something like, “Since I gave my life to Jesus Christ, that kind of language offends me.”
CHECK THE DICTIONARY What do you think the following terms mean?
Swearing –
Obscenities –
Expletives –
Sexually explicit language –
Vulgarities –
Cursing –
Slang –
Blaspheming –
Taking God’s name in vain –
Ethic slurs –
HOW ABOUT YOU!
If I keep the third commandment – not taking God’s name in vain – can I use other forms of slang or expletives?
In certain situation I could use the above kinds of languages?
Why? Why not?
As a Christian I should never use the above language?
How about slang words like “darn”, “gosh” or “golly” are they acceptable?

What's in a Name?
A computer error gave two women in America called Patricia the same social security number. When the two women were brought together in an office to rectify the blunder they discovered that -
They had both been born with the names Patricia Ann Campbell
Both of their fathers were called Robert Campbell
Their birthdays were on 13th March 1941
They had both married military men in the year 1959 (within eleven days of each other)
They each had two children aged 19 and 21
They both had an interest in oil painting
Both had studied cosmeticsBoth had worked as book-keepers
In 1893, Henry Ziegland ended a relationship with his girlfriend.Tragically, his girlfriend took the news very badly, became distraught and took her own life.
Her distressed brother blamed his sister's death upon Henry, he went round to Henry's house, saw him out in the garden and tried to shoot him.Luckily, the bullet only grazed Henry's face and embedded itself in a nearby tree.
In 1913, twenty years after this incident, Henry decided to use dynamite to uproot a tree in his garden. The explosion propelled the embedded bullet from the tree straight into Henry Ziegland's head - killing him immediately.
Lucky Hughs?
On December 5th 1660, a ship sank in the straights of Dover - the only survivor was noted to be Hugh Williams.On 5th December 1767, another ship sank in the same waters - 127 lost their lives, the only survivor was noted to be Hugh Williams
On 8th August 1820, a picnic boat capsized on the Thames - there was one survivor - Hugh Williams.On 10th July 1940, a British trawler was destroyed by a German mine - only two men survived, one man and his nephew - they were both called Hugh Williams.
Mr McDonald was a farmer who lived in Canada - nothing extra-ordinary in that - until you learn that his postcode contained the letter sequence EIEIO.
In 1996, Paris police set out to investigate a late night, high speed car crash, both drivers had been killed instantly.Investigations revealed that the deceased were in fact man and wife.
Police initially suspected some kind of murder or suicide pact but it became apparent that the pair had been separated for several months - neither could have known that the other would have been out driving that night - it was just a terrible coincidence.
Michael Dick had been travelling around the UK with his family to track down his daughter, Lisa - who he had lost contact with ten years earlier.
After a long fruitless search, he approached the Suffolk Free Press, who agreed to help him by putting an appeal in their newspaper.
Fortunately, his long lost daughter saw the appeal and the pair were reunited. The odd thing was, his daughter had been right behind him when the free paper took the photograph - shown in the photograph above. What are the chances of that!
A fifteen year old pupil at Argoed High School in North Wales was to sit his GCSE examinations in 1990.
His name was James Bond - his examination paper reference was 007.
What Goes Around….
In 1965, at the age of four, Roger Lausier was swimming off a beach in Salem - he got into difficulties and was saved from drowning by a woman called Alice Blaise.
In 1974, on the same beach, Roger was out on a raft when he pulled a drowning man from the water - amazingly, the man he saved was Alice Blaise's husband.
British cavalry officer Major Summerford was fighting in the fields of Flanders in the last year of WW1, a flash of lightning knocked him off his horse and paralysed him from his waist down.
He moved to Vancouver, Canada, six years later, whilst out fishing, Major Summerfield was struck by lightning again and the right side of his body became paralysed.
After two years of recovery, it was a summers day and he was out in a local park, a summer storm blew up and Major Summerfield was struck by lightning again - permanently paralysing him.He died two years after this incident.
However, four years after his death, his stone tomb was destroyed - it was struck by lightning!
At the end of his speech, he put a peppermint in his mouth, and choked to death on it!

British cavalry officer Major Summerford was fighting in the fields of Flanders in the last year of WW1, a flash of lightning knocked him off his horse and paralysed him from his waist down.He moved to Vancouver, Canada, six years later, whilst out fishing, Major Summerfield was struck by lightning again and the right side of his body became paralysed.
After two years of recovery, it was a summers day and he was out in a local park, a summer storm blew up and Major Summerfield was struck by lightning again - permanently paralysing him.He died two years after this incident.
However, four years after his death, his stone tomb was destroyed - it was struck by lightning!
