'Twas the night before Christmas, he lived all alone,
in a one bedroom house made of plaster and stone.

I had come down the chimney with presents to give,
and to see just who in this little house lived.

As I looked all about, a strange sight I did see,
No tinsel, no presents, not even a tree.

No Stockings by mantle, just boots filled with sand,
On the wall hung pictures of far distant lands.

With medals and badges, awards of all kinds,
A sobering thought came through my mind.

For this house was different, it was dark and dreary,
The home of a soldier, I could now see clearly.

The soldier lay sleeping, silent, alone,
Curled up on the floor in this one bedroom home.

The face was so gentle, the room in such disorder,
Not how I picture a United States Soldier.

Was this the hero of whom I'd just read?
Curled up on a poncho, the floor for a bed?

I realized the families that I saw this night,
owed their lives to these soldiers who were willing to fight.

Soon round the world, the children would play,
and grownups would celebrate a bright Christmas day.

They all enjoyed freedom each month of the year,
because of the soldiers, like the one lying here.

I couldn't help wondering how many lay alone,
on a cold Christmas Eve in a land far from home.

The very thought brought a tear to my eye,
I dropped to one knee and started to cry.

The soldier awakened and I heard a rough voice,
"Santa don't cry, for this life is my choice".

I fight for freedom, I don't ask for more,
My life is my God, my country, my corps."

The soldier rolled over and drifted to sleep,
I couldn't control it, I continued to weep.

I kept watch for hours, so silent and still,
as we both shivered from the cold night's chill.

I didn't want to leave, on that cold, dark night,
this guardian of honor, so willing to fight.

Then the soldier rolled over, with a voice soft and pure,
whispered, "Carry on Santa...., It's Christmas Day...., All is secure.

One look at my watch, and I knew he was right,
Merry Christmas my friend.... and to all a Good Night.

As I assumed Man Made Global Warming more technically known as Anthropogenic Global Warming is a lie. We learn that we have been cooling for the past 10 years not only that, the warming trend we were in was rather mundane, and it's certainly not worth rewiring the economic circuitry of the planet over.

Yet there are alarmists still out their trying to defend what is obviously counterfeit. For in the end the alarmists are socialists, radical Marxists with one simple agenda, destroy America. By forcing Americans to pay reparations based on the claim theyÂve done harm to other nations by spoiling the climate, when in truth there has been now spoiling at all. It is like asking me to pay damages to my neighbor based on his claim that he canÂt sell his house because my great-grandmotherÂs ghost is haunting it.

One of the great evil's of this world has been hiding behind the logo of "Green" in the end the devil has been exposed, and it must be cast back into hell. This as the United States EPA has made our very breath a pollutant... The hackers who exposed Anthropogenic Global Warming for the fraud that it is, deserve the Nobel Peace Prize not some narcissistic President who despite the evidence presented still believes in the lie.

Then again I am sure the President knows its a lie but it us a useful one in creating his Freedom robbing Socialist Government with.

I don't really know how many people truly follow my art but I do have a question for those that do. I have always felt that when I draw my female characters... 90% are female, I can be very racy or provocative with my art. In many cases I am trying, but when I show it to friend's many say it is not. I have been very confused, in many ways I do not want to degrade women by drawing them absurdly but at the same time I know that doing so is well liked.

I feel that most of my art isn't family friendly yet I am told other wise by many. So what say you. Is my art just a bunch of cute girls or is their sexual and or provocative suggestion within it?

I write to you on this day, for I am a person who knows for a fact the world was differnt after September 11th 2001. Something we have forgotten in these passing years. I will never forget who attacked us, they are still out there and deadly. Islamic Terrorism is very real and funded from all over the world, even by groups here in the United States.

We are a fickle nation, and the dragon is sleeping once again, as our president doesn't even beleive in the "War on Terror" to a Overseas Contingency Operation, and is cutting defense spending right and left. Always remember how you felt on 9-11 but in away it is more important to remember how you felt the day after.

When addicted to a video game don't let it be World of Warcraft. In all serious though WOW isn't the only reason for my lack of anything getting done that I want done. Work has been extra busy and getting busier by the day. As my life descends more into being a Police Officer Art light is fading.

I look at all that I could be doing and all that I want to do, and things are not adding up. Between Friends, soon to be wife, family and work, I have to stop and take note on what I want.

I still do not want to give up on drawing, but what I want to draw is slowly shifting. Now all I need is a time to draw. Work is so busy I can barely talk to people online, calls are one after another these days and I'm sorry for those who I do talk to that my time is short.

As for art, my family I think is my biggest fan, and I look to expand on that direction of more family friendly material. There are some things that I might be drawing that you might not expect, but when i do get the time to draw, I want to make something special by it.

One thing I can guarantee is on its way is the YF-93 GavriÊ¼el which might be my last Variable fighter I will ever make. It is what I've always wanted to make and i finally got it down on paper.

Well more has been saved from my old laptop mostly art. The twenty some odd stretches I did for the Loch Raven Girls Lacrosse team I did when I was trying to thank them for making my proposal a smashing success was apart of this save. Though it is a bit late, I wish finish them for the sake of argument and just for Danielle and mine memories. We took special meaning to each girl, after that. These girls were first to really open up to Danielle when she was transfered to Loch Raven, as well as her favorite team to train for. Especially Danielle (Yes same name as my Danielle), and Alexis

Other things recovered is a lot of old art, none of it is really good, but I might go around redoing it just making it better quality for posting sake. Most of it is fan art so I am sure that will make many happy. As for me the writing bug has really struck me and I've been working on my little story project plus some Role Playing Stuff.

On the Role Playing front, I played my first game in about 4 months with two guys I haven't seen in a long time. It was a blast as well as start a really cool Alternate reality timeline for the Macross Saga. I am looking to draw the main characters to that story as soon as possible.

It been lagging behind in updating this thing, for good reason though. A lot of travel has been on the menu in the beginning of this month, as well as busier then usually times at work. The Department 11-7 aka Midnight shift is dropping like flies, 1 died in the line of duty, 1 fired, and the bigwigs up top are twiddling their thumbs when it comes to replacements or even giving over time. My sergeant has finally got the Major to allow us to sacrifice regular leave days for overtime, and that is yes exhausting but itÂs a matter of safety for the officers on the streets.

Art wise and writing I have been having some real trouble in that field. Sayuki I love her to death, but I would say it is a lack of motivation to continue her story on paper. I have also taken on the challenge of picking up a friendÂs story who has come under a lot of pressure and responsibility these passing months. A boy into a Man so quicklyÂ I wish him and his wife the best of luck.

This story I picked up is about a girl from India, a culture I am very unfamiliar with. A tragic loss of her family has her come to America to live with her uncle. With some problems, she comes from what is known as the Caste. A term not used much in Western Culture, but for India you are either in the Caste (Rich) or in the Outcaste (Poor) The Middle class is a new concept and fast growing in india but there is debate on what it is. Anyhoot her Uncle and Aunt she moves into are not the most well off running a small veterinary hospital together.

Basically about it is the girl who was once rich and is now poor, and who has a love of a game that most Americans never even heard of, Cricket.

My next picture will be of that of the main character Kriti Kumari Chauhan none to her new American friends as ÂCricket.Â The story has a very Chic and sexually theme to it. I am sure to tone this down a bit to fit my comfort level, and my friend understands this.

Well happy hunting, and hope to get more art done now that all of these trips I had are out of the way.

With a wedding coming up, and a major court case the same week, this month is far from over. It is been hard to find time to really put a effort in to draw, I guess things are getting better just a little bit tonight, finished off Hormione, but I had a few before this that still need done.

One is

Lt. Winters from Band of Brothers

A cast member from Cats

A Fox

A picture of my original Character Natara

But Fan art is relaxing so Hormione was lucky enough to get a green light to be finished. July I hope to have a better month in the way of drawing. If all goes well no more big cases in court. I just hope in the one coming up the bad guy goes to jail, it all on my testimony as the arresting officer (No pressure now) lol I am confident in my facts my statement, but its not up to me its up to those 12 peers...

Soldiers, Sailors and Airmen of the Allied Expeditionary Force!

You are about to embark upon the Great Crusade, toward which we have striven these many months. The eyes of the world are upon you. The hopes and prayers of liberty-loving people everywhere march with you. In company with our brave Allies and brothers-in-arms on other Fronts, you will bring about the destruction of the German war machine, the elimination of Nazi tyranny over the oppressed peoples of Europe, and security for ourselves in a free world.

Your task will not be an easy one. Your enemy is well trained, well equipped and battle-hardened. He will fight savagely.

But this is the year 1944! Much has happened since the Nazi triumphs of 1940-41. The United Nations have inflicted upon the Germans great defeats, in open battle, man-to-rnan. Our air offensive has seriously reduced their strength in the air and their capacity to wage war on the ground. Our Home Fronts have given us an overwhelming superiority in weapons and munitions of war, and placed at our disposal great reserves of trained fighting men. The tide has turned! The free men of the world are marching together to Victory!

I have full confidence in your courage, devotion to duty and skill in battle. We will accept nothing less than full Victory!

Good Luck! And let us all beseech the blessing of Almighty God upon this great and noble undertaking.

Never has a time of peace and tranquility ever been seen in post war then that of Disney. For the Revolt, Revolution, and War over Disney which led to the dethroning of Emperor Michael Eisner, has lead to such peace. If you do not know what War I am talking about, you should stop what you are doing and question your want to be an animator, hell question even being an Artist. The term was coined by James B. Stewart, who titled his book, ÂDisney War.Â

The War has been over for some time now; the dark days of Disney seem to have come to an end at least in the Animation Studios. DisneyÂs live actions recent fetish with talking animals like Chihuahuas has disturbed me slightly. Even now Jerry Bruckheimer board of beating that dead horse CSI to death has moved on to Ginny-pigs, in the upcoming disaster G-Force. Even with problems with live action, the animation is nothing but a shining city on a mountain top.

Pixar took over post war Disney Animation Studios under the direction of John Lasseter, the 21st century Walt Disney himself. (minus all that anti-Semitism) Last year we were blown away by a little Robot named WALL-E a visual masterpiece that is at par no I dare say even better than any of Hayao Miyazaki legendary work. John Lasseter has transformed Disney, and the animation world with his work, and it seems he is up to it again.

UP, is Pixar and DisneyÂs latest masterpiece, with a main character unlike any other seen before, a jaded adventurous old man. Another incredible male role which is the shining stars of anything Pixar has made. For the female lead is simply not needed, they have finally moved past the idea that only girls watch cartoons and we for some reason need to make them feel better by giving them leads.
Up is a show that blends comedy, tragedy, action, and the joy of hope so seamlessly that itÂs hard to believe youÂre crying one moment and laughing the next. Was Up as brilliant as Wall-E, yes. Was it as good as Wall-E, well that is up to the person? For me Wall-E is the better of the two. Up does puts to shame so many animations and Hollywood live actions movies I regarded as the best. A day has come where Japan is losing the Animation war.

What Up brings to the table is something all audiences can enjoy, without burdening me with depressing and long narrative, or repetitive and long storylines. If I would compare Up to say Sky Crawlers it would be no contest. Up fulfilled me and still left me with just as much to think about without making me feel like I was ripped off with an emotionally dead ending, where you have absolutely no reason to care anymore.

Up made me thing about what I will be like when I grow old. Will my adventures be fulfilled? Or do I even know what they are yet? While modern Animes like Sky Crawlers, or even Anime series that I truly love like Macross Frontier canÂt bring the originality of Up. Japan fixation on ÂWar is BadÂ Love is goodÂ or ÂMan is hopelessÂ ÂMan is evilÂ themes are overdone. Anime has blurred into this blob of ridiculous similarities where popular shows like Naruto steal from others and no one cares anymore. This is not to say Sky Crawlers was bad, by no means, it was good, but it simply didnÂt touch me.
That is what Up does, it touches me, it made me cry in sorrow and in happiness. Which reminds me on what Disney went through to get here. WarÂ One of the panicle enemies of anime bought about the studio that has cast a great shadow over them. Hollywood is dead, the best they can come up with is sequels of series that died long ago, and or comic books.

In this upside down world I am glad to know that Up there is Pixar that golden city in the clouds to remind me on why I love art and animation. So if you havenÂt seen upÂ You must. I can only find one Japanese Anime that even comes close to the magic of Up and that is Kaleido Star. Even with that said, Kaleido Star is a glimmer in a sea of monotony.

The man who will conduct the next census are already putting out funny numbers. In his Cairo speech, the President claimed there are seven million Muslims in the US. This is a multiple of the Pew Research Center's careful estimate of 2.35 million.

Even if you accept the President's ridiculous claim, this does not make American one of the largest "Muslim nations" as he recently averred.

If the President can find 7 million Muslims in the US, imagine how many Democrats will be discovered by his Census, being run from the White House....

The more you look how the world is going the more it looks like a fairytale. It is sad that any president, not just Obama but any public official can pull a stunt like that and not only not be called out on it, but praised as some kind of great man. It seems that "Great men" have not showed up on this planet for a long time.

I might as well claim that I have a billion dollars and have 2 million page views.

For the few lost souls who follow me, be glad to know that I am in good health once again.

Art wise, I have been struggling, creativity seems to be on the down, very down.... I lost the motivation to commit to a serious project and when i do, something comes by and interrupts it killing the flow....

This is why I could never be a serious artist, I can just draw... I used too... but i guess being a Police Officer has changed me so much... I focus on other things, I have lost touch with my artistic side... I have seen horrible things these past couple of months, sad things that hurt me still....

Drawing was my release now it has become a chore and I feel horrible for that as well... I want to love art the way I used too... the joy of putting pen to pad... I've tried mixing it up doing different things... taking brakes... but nothing...

I am losing my talent.... and I don't want too....

Seriously... Never wish you had this. I do, and it feels like I am being stabbed every other minute in the abdomen. Simply put my large Intestines are inflamed and twisting or Venous thrombosis... near the Colon.

This can lead to Diverticulitis.... Which is very bad.

Anyhoot it will be hard to draw when I am doubled over in pain every other minute. The pain is so bad Oxycodone does crap for it. I am on a powerful Narcotic and still it barely helps.

Update:

As of 1130hrs EST things are not getting better in fact worse. My CT scans are going to be looked at by a surgeon and my doctor is concerned that I have full blown Diverticulitis. The only anomaly is my lack of a strong fever. I am a 99.8 my average is 99.1. There is a strong possibility they I need to go back to the hospital and a chance of a operation is needed. To that end I am packing a bag and supplies for a extended hospital stay.

Preparing for the worst hoping for the best, that is all I can do.

I applauded President Obama for authorizing the Rescue Operation to save Captain Richard Phillips and kill three out of the four Terrorist AKA Pirates. As for the fourth we have taken a massive step back when the Obama Administration will "Prosecute" the one living Pirate in a New York City Court. I am sorry but Somalia pirates don't give a damn and will not think twice about attacking American ships with the threat of going to a jail in America. In fact this will encourage it. A American Jail will be an improvement for them.

Thank God for the U.S. Navy Seals. They deliver a wonderful Easter gift with the life of Captain Philips to his family and America. However a place like Gitmo is what he have for Pirates, but not anymore. Pirates do not belong in a US prison they belong in a place like Gitmo, or dead.

We have delivered a horrible mixed message to the Pirates. If you live through it, you get to live in America for the rest of their lives. The living one is a Minor, which will cause a nightmare in US Courts, I say he is a Somali citizen send him to a Somali Court.

As I am sure the empty suits and skirts of Washington swarm at the chance to disarm us to fulfill their dream of tyranny over the latest massacre of Police Officer in Pittsburgh PA, I say Bullshit!

The second Amendment did not kill these three Officers in Pittsburgh or the five in Oakland. It was the perversion of American society. Granted I donÂt see Pittsburgh throwing parties and celebrations like the scum of Oakland for the Killer, but standing in shock and sorrow and not anger is just as bad in some aspects.

The United States of America has lost touch; we have become a society of dependent idiots. We have slowly allowed through the appeasement of soft-core Communists the loss of our personal independence and responsibility. It starts with our schools as our Children have become walking talking babies. Idiots made by the Government for the pure purpose of needing to ÂTake care of them.Â

Here comes the government to save the day. The Government never saves the day, they only take and control. Welfare has turned into state sponsored slavery. Even President Clinton saw that and sided with a Republican Congress to try and curve this. President Bush tried and failed with Sen. Kennedy to fix schools. But now we have a president who wants to take more control and expand government into our lives. His insanity even has the socialists of Europe calling us crazy and the President of the European Union has it right. We are on the road to Hell. Because their socialism would die if America became like them.

The next step to the end of our society is when because of a crazy man in Pittsburgh and a Child raping Punk in Oakland and his disgusting degenerate neighbors who support him they take our weapons, we have truly lost. As a police officer I know we all know that a gun does not kill. The weapon is only a tool it is neutral and has no sides. It is the user, and the user of the gun that kills. He kills not because of the gun because he wants to kill. Taking away the gun will not change that.

We are told to moron at the loss of an Officer, but there is more to that. There must be rage, we have been taught in school to not do this, but until we have the anger we will never have the will to change what is so wrong. We will be told to cry and told that the Government will solve this.

The founding fathers are rolling in their graves to see what a degenerate waste of oxygen our society has come. They fought and died for the very freedoms we are willing to give up to the government. It is people not government that make change.

What has happened to America? What has happened to Oakland? Four of my brothers died needlessly. Killed by a Child Rapist, a heartless scum of the earth, who death couldnÂt have come any sooner. I have silently cried all week for these men and their families. A part of America has died, and there is not even a sound coming from the Liberal Media, these officers deserved better!

Where is the rage? Not in Oakland, where those scum celebrated the dead officers and called the subhuman pig that committed this massacre a hero. The horror I felt when I heard the cheers of joy for the death of these officers! Cheers?! Yes, that is the result of Liberalism, this is the result of a Welfare nation, this is a result of reverse racism.

Gun Control has nothing to do with this, both weapons the scum hard were gotten illegally. Sensitivity training and Pacifism killed these officers. And there will be rage, OPD is enraged, more so at the heartless citizens who praise the scum and spit on their dead, and there is not just a few, there are thousands and there will be rage.

I do not do this job for scum like that, I do it despite of them, and so did these officers. This is war, we are the soldiers in the trenches, and we will win.

Well at least the EmoÂs are happyÂ In all seriousness this has to be one of the worst movies IÂve ever seen.

Yeah, I know I dropped a real bomb there, so letÂs get the good out of the way. The Special effects, and style of the Watchman was fantastic, photography was incredible. Fight scenes were good but repetitive it seems these Characters all had the same 4 moves like the Original Street Fighter.

This out of the way, Watchman, even knowing this is a movie about a graphic novel written in the early 80Âs, it was so filled with clichÃ©Âs like the Oil CompanyÂs, Nixon, America, are all ÂEvilÂ and the USSR is the big miss understood teddy bear, and there are no such things as super heroes.

The Heroes are more or less rejects; they never really seem to have any moral stance. The Comedian is a child raping homicidal moron, Ms. Jupiter is a whore, and her daughter didnÂt fall far from that tree, the Nite Owl is a pushover and his son is an evil genius. Rorschach is the only really likeable character for me, because he looked like Clint Eastwood without the mask on and even if he was the most violent, had a moral center that he would not go back onÂ unlike everyone else.

The more they explained each Character the more I simply didnÂt care. If the creatorÂs idea was to make us hate everyone they did a good job, but then again the audience this was intended for are the social rejects of society and morons. You canÂt go into this movie being smart, and this isnÂt a movie you can say itÂs dumb either. It really tries to be smart, and make you think, but all the roads could be explained in the opening credits when you learn all the heroes suck a royal big one in the end. Which makes me wonder why I even stayed for the rest of this 2 hour and 45 minutes waste of my time?

A movie like the Watchman tries to make you think, I have a feeling they were going for what the original comic book did and make you be thinking about it hours even days after you finish it, and it simple doesnÂt. People I am sure will try to fill this movie with hidden meaning and try and make it their role model, but itÂs just a story and a bad one at that. The only thing Epic about it is how Epicly it failed. The hype was so great, but I had more fun at my local high schoolÂs production of Cinderella.

ThatÂs about it, if you are an Emo, or an Angst moron you will surely love this movie. For its Humans are all shit themes. For anyone with a shred of intelligence you will be wondering why you wasted the money. The Comic book was better, but not incredible. I am sure of one thing however. The Comedian and Rorschach will surely be idolized by the Internet entity Anonymous, just like the rest of those /b/tards worship V for Vendetta.

With my laptop running at 50% power, I have been drawing as much as I can before I either ship it out again or get my friend to look at it. I have been drawing, my original characters recently in the coloring style of Macross Frontier. Macross Frontier has single handedly knocked WALL-E off my all time best animation list, and has given me a new spirit since I've watched it all.

I am happy that I am feeling good about my art, and even more happy for all who favorite it and comment on it. I owe all who do this a big thanks! I am working on improving in area's I lack in, such as being more flattering with my female characters, and increase the amount of Fan Art I draw. ItÂs hard to believe that a Anime could do this, but it also has been a long long time since a Anime hasnÂt sucked.

I hope to get more comments and meet more people as I try to keep things positive as the American Government destroys the world around us with horrible economic policies.

A US Airways Flight 1549 crashed Thursday in the Hudson River in New York City after a flock of birds struck its engines just after takeoff, but everyone aboard survived!

People do not know that to land a plane on a river, with no Engines is a statistical impossibility. By all rights everyone on that plane should be dead, but they are not. The pilot and Co-Pilot did something not that they were supposed to do, but they did more, they ditched a critically stricken aircraft below 5,000 feet and did this perfectly.

Valor is an act of heroism clearly beyond what reasonably might have been expected under the given circumstances and of such a nature that if the act had not been attempted no criticism would be justified.

I would have never of faulted Pilot Chesley B. Sullenburger if he could not land that plane perfectly, he was in the air for less than five minutes, less than 5,000 feet with little under four hundred Knots. In no way could a person like myself, who knows piloting, and aircraft fault either the pilot or co-pilot. This was a miracle and a incredible act of Valor by the Pilot and Co-pilot. Without question they are heroes.

As well, may I say that the Joint Emergency Response activated seconds after the crash worked perfectly. These multi-government and private emergency responses worked how they were supposed to. This shows that the hard work after the FEMA incident post Katrina to fix how EVERYONE across the nation acted and respond to Emergencies. Well done to everyone who responded to this incident.

"Beyond the political is the fundamentals, the difference between Right, and Wrong."

The Islamic Terrorists of Hamas, a criminal origination that strong armed itself to power has become a clear and present danger to the Nation of Israel, and the people of Palestine. There is no negotiation, they themselves declare that. They are a living breathing weapon of mass destruction; their goal is to commit a holocaust, that either of the Jews, or the Palestinians they use as cattle and shields. It is by the facts alone that I feel that Hamas be eliminated from this planet once and for all. The true Palestinian Authority, is that of the Fatah. Israel, and her brave and courageous freedom and peace loving soldiers should not have to face this evil alone and at the same time be ridiculed for protecting their loved ones and homes.

The facts are simple, Hamas is the one thing standing in the way of a peace between the Palestinians and the Israelis. There is no talking to the Terrorists of Hamas, The United Nation is a dead stick; they are as worthless as they are a waste. The only alternative is the destruction of Hamas. To obtain peace, a war on the evils that stand it its way must be made. This is not a matter of Muslim, or Jew, Christian or Atheist. This is a matter of Life or Death. The Israelis support and want life, for all people Jew gentile, black white, and Arab. Hamas wants death, not just of the Jews, but that of All who stand in their way.

You can scrone me for my support for peace through war. But without War there is not Peace. If there is no battle to stop evil, there would be no good left in this world. The innocent Israeli and Palestinians are in my prayers, but it is Hamas and Hamas only who is to blame for EVERY LAST DEATH.

The Jerusalem Post is reporting that up to 10,000 Israeli soldiers along with their armor are moving into northern Gaza. The attack was preceded by a massive artillery barrage along the entire border and increased air strikes:

The IDF said that the purpose of the ground operation was to eliminate launching pads in northern Gaza from which specific long-range rockets had been fired into southern Israel.

Large forces from the army's infantry, tanks and artillery units are among those participating in the mission.

Several hours earlier, the army began to fire artillery shells into the northern part of the Strip.

According to reports, the artillery units were attacking targets in northern Gaza from where Palestinian terrorists had been firing rockets at southern Israel.

Warplanes, gunboats and artillery units blasted more than 40 Hamas targets throughout Saturday, including Hamas's central intelligence headquarters in Sha'ati, weapons storage facilities, training centers and Hamas leaders' homes.

One artillery shell apparently found the home of senior Hamas Commander Abu Zacharia Al-Jamal. No regrets that Mr. al-Jamal was apparently home at the time and won't be planning the deliberate murder of any more Israeli civilians.

There has been little in the way of information coming from the Israeli government regarding what exactly they wish to accomplish with this ground assault. One of the stated reasons is to destroy rocket launchers that are terrorizing civilians. But might Israel also be seeking to destroy Hamas?

This issue has been much debated in Israel lately and, as with many thorny issues, the cabinet appears divided. Defense Minister Ehud Barak appears to be pushing for some kind of "final confrontation" with Hamas that will denude the terrorists of their ability to harm Israelis while also making it impossible for them to govern - the whole smash so to speak.

Meanwhile, Prime Minister Olmert suspects that the destruction of Hamas will lose him some support in the United States. This may or may not be the case since it appears to me that opinion has pretty much solidified on both sides and any action Israel takes will not win or lose it too much in the way of support from the American people.

Still, Olmert must hear a clock ticking somewhere; he probably has a matter of hours before we will be forced - reluctantly - to ask the Israelis to stand down. And Israel, being Israel, will reluctantly agree and stop before finishing the job.

This is the way its been for decades and there apparently is no reason to believe anything will change now.

Update!

A senior Hamas freakazoid cleric considered the successor of Sheikh Ahmed Yassin wonÂt be sending any more of his children into Israel as suicidal mass murderers!

Sheikh Nizar Rayyan, 52, a senior Hamas leader and cleric, was killed along with several others on Thursday when an IAF aircraft dropped a bomb on the eight-story Jabalya apartment building he lived in, the IDF said.

Palestinian medics said that nine people were killed, including two of RayyanÂs four wives and four of his 12 children, and around 30 were wounded in the air strike. ...

Security officials said that Rayyan was not only the religious leader of HamasÂs military wing, Izzadin Kassam, but also one of their military commanders. He was often seen in uniform, and participated in military exercises. He was considered one of the most fanatical Hamas commanders, and was said to be close to Hamas terrorist Salah Shehadeh, who was killed by the IAF in 2002.

In October 2001, he sent his son to perpetrate a suicide attack in the Gush Katif settlement Elei Sinai, in which two young Israelis were killed.

This is incredible news! It is to bad that 2 of his 4 wives.... But maybe if he wasn't a sick bastard he would only have 1 wife like you supposed to it might not of happened. As for the children, I pray for them as well but letÂs think here? He already sent one out to die to kill other kids, so in a way they were saved.

By James M. Schmidt, a Marine Lance Corporal

Twas the night before Christmas, he lived all alone,
In a one bedroom house made of plaster & stone.

I had come down the chimney, with presents to give
and to see just who in this home did live

As I looked all about, a strange sight I did see,
no tinsel, no presents, not even a tree.
No stocking by the fire, just boots filled with sand.
On the wall hung pictures of a far distant land.

With medals and badges, awards of all kind,
a sobering thought soon came to my mind.
For this house was different, unlike any I'd seen.
This was the home of a U.S. Marine.

I'd heard stories about them, I had to see more,
so I walked down the hall and pushed open the door.
And there he lay sleeping, silent, alone,
Curled up on the floor in his one-bedroom home.

He seemed so gentle, his face so serene,
Not how I pictured a U.S. Marine.
Was this the hero, of whom IÂd just read?
Curled up in his poncho, a floor for his bed?

His head was clean-shaven, his weathered face tan.
I soon understood, this was more than a man.
For I realized the families that I saw that night,
owed their lives to these men, who were willing to fight.

Soon around the Nation, the children would play,
And grown-ups would celebrate on a bright Christmas day.
They all enjoyed freedom, each month and all year,
because of Marines like this one lying here.

I couldnÂt help wonder how many lay alone,
on a cold Christmas Eve, in a land far from home.
Just the very thought brought a tear to my eye.
I dropped to my knees and I started to cry.

He must have awoken, for I heard a rough voice,
"Santa, don't cry, this life is my choice
I fight for freedom, I don't ask for more.
My life is my God, my country, my Corps."

With that he rolled over, drifted off into sleep,
I couldn't control it, I continued to weep.

I watched him for hours, so silent and still.
I noticed he shivered from the cold night's chill.
So I took off my jacket, the one made of red,
and covered this Marine from his toes to his head.

Then I put on his T-shirt of scarlet and gold,
with an eagle, globe and anchor emblazoned so bold.
And although it barely fit me, I began to swell with pride,
and for one shining moment, I was Marine Corps deep inside.

I didn't want to leave him so quiet in the night,
this guardian of honor so willing to fight.
But half asleep he rolled over, and in a voice clean and pure,
said "Carry on, Santa, it's Christmas Day, all secure."

One look at my watch and I knew he was right,
Merry Christmas my friend, Semper Fi and goodnight.

Why working on a injured person at work a calamity of events occurred and my hand was injured pretty badly. The injured person is fine, and luckily I had EMTÂs on scene, and they came to this injured Police Officers aid. Well I went to one of the best Hand specialist in the world and it turns out I have nerve damage. It could take anywhere from 4 weeks to a year for me to regain full usage of my pinky and ring finger on my left hand. While I have about some motion and feeling in them they are used on how I draw.

My options are limited either I donÂt draw until the injury is healed, or a learn how to draw without the use of my pinky and ring finger. I have been practicing, and it turns out they thought there did not directly guide the pencil, they helped with how I put pressure on the pencil and pen, and the numbness prevents me from feeling how much weight I am really putting on things. Typing is interesting; I am only using my index finger on my left hand.

Well with this all said, I am looking to draw some fan art to relearn how to do this. I already have one request for the Anime classic Sailor Moon. If anyone has some Character ideas from Anime or American shows they would like to see please drop me a line. I need to start off simple and work my way back, hoary for physical therapy. I do have some stuff I havenÂt posted yet and those will go up after Christmas (Their all Christmas presents) speaking of which.

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL, and a Happy Hanukah to all my Jewish friends out there! And for that presky Arab buddy of mine, I hope you're having fun in the UAE and your ÂEidÂul-Fitr went well, paint the town green and stop chasing those girls, I know Dubai is the Vegas of the Middle East, but its the holidays man.

I hope that it is not what I have been told... but it might be possible that this damage could take a very very long time to heal...

Â¬Â¬Â¬Â¬Â¬Â¬Â¬Â¬Â¬Thanksgiving is here, and the United States spends this day giving thanks to God for what they have, especially family. The true meaning of Thanksgiving was lost behind the tail of the Pilgrims and Indians meal that happened on Plymouth Rock. This has all been overshadowed as some kind of plot to support racism. Regardless of the transgressions that occurred between the Native Americans and her adopted European children, the meeting still occurred, the dinner still happened, peacefully.

Yet everyone needs to point to something and claim racism, the act of Thanksgiving is not racist, even if you have a play of Pilgrims and Indians done by your local elementary school isnÂt a play of racism, nor does it support it. That day that is called the first thanksgiving shows what could have been, not what happened. What happened to Native America was cruel, and we should never over look that history, however the day Pilgrim and Indian sat at that table, they could have never of known of this. Take from the moment, and the meaning behind it.

So peace be on to you this Thanksgiving day. I am thankful to all of you, all race, all creed, all religion. My prayers go out to India who face the terror of Islamic extremism, but my prayers also go out to the moderate and peaceful Muslims who fight to change their religions path. I pray for our President, and our President to be, no matter what he thinks. And I give thanks for being in a Nation, who through trial and error, forged a nation where anything is possible, and everyone is welcome. It took years, but there is no other nation on earth like it. And that is to be thankful for.

I am a big fan of college sports and when I read this from a editor of Lamesports.com, I felt it needed to be shared to anyone who is a fan of College football.

With a myriad of arguments in favor of the implementation of a playoff system in college football, opponents always seem to hearken back to the same counterpoint -- the college football regular season is the most intriguing in all of sports. It is the only counterpoint that seems to have stuck; yet it is also one of the biggest myths perpetuated by the BCS brass since its inception.

Let's assume for a moment that the most important thing is to award a champion at the end of the season, an assumption that most fans accept, but one the BCS seems unable to comprehend. Like any good movie or book that you may have read, each starts with a bang, and then slowly builds momentum toward a very satisfying climax. The same can be said for most major sports. One major exception to this formula is college football, in which the regular season actually becomes exponentially less important as the year rolls on.

With two losses, no program has a chance of getting a title shot in the current system. One-loss teams would need several stars to align perfectly for the shot to get in the championship game. Interest in most schools wanes as the year goes on, or it is diverted to other personal accomplishments, such as getting into less relevant bowl games. These other bowl games are utterly meaningless in the scheme of crowning a champion, and serve no other purpose than to generate money, while sending less successful teams out on a positive winning note.

In a playoff system, two-loss teams could conceivably get into the round of eight. One-loss teams would almost certainly be assured of a playoff shot. Interest would continue throughout the regular season for several teams. A majority of fans would be far more satisfied debating the most worthy team for the eighth spot. Under the BCS system fans are left with an empty feeling as their team disappears from the picture altogether because their team shows up as number three on the BCS computers at the end of the season.

Using results from this year as an example, let's discuss what has happened under the BCS system, and what could happen with a playoff system. Limiting our analysis to the teams in the preseason top 25 will simplify the argument.

In a perfect world, one with a playoff system implemented, it is quite reasonable to assume that a majority of the pre-season top 25 teams would have set a realistic goal of getting into an eight team playoff field. Getting into our theoretical field of eight ensures an opportunity at a championship, and all of the top teams would then be able to take care of their business during the regular season to secure such an opportunity. Even the smaller, non-traditional powerhouses in the rankings would have a realistic shot at making the playoffs.

Pre-Season

With the BCS intact, the pre-season top 25 teams have been vying for two spots and two spots only. As the system currently stands, six of these teams are eliminated immediately from the list of potential champions: Arizona State, BYU, Illinois, South Florida, Pittsburgh, and Wake Forest. Most of these are self-explanatory. For example, the realist will tell you that even if BYU goes undefeated with a large average margin of victory, they would still only hope to get 5th or 6th in the BCS rankings. Illinois will never make the top two with an undefeated season based on the overall perceived weakness of the Big 10. South Florida will not be taken seriously. You get the picture.

On the other hand, in a playoff system hope looms large for 25+ teams.

After Week 1

As mentioned before, the current system has already eliminated title hopes for six of the top 25 teams. We're down to 19 teams who will strive for an undefeated season -- that being the best path to the final game of the year. Additional teams eliminated on the field after week one include: Virginia Tech, Clemson, and Tennessee, which brings us to 16 viable teams.

With a playoff, all 25 teams remain alive for the tournament, and a chance at a title.

After Week 5

Further teams have been eliminated in the current system: West Virginia in week 2, Kansas and Ohio State in week 3, Oregon and Auburn in week 4, USC, Florida, Wisconsin, and Georgia in week 5. This leaves us with only 7 legitimate teams. That's 7 teams after barely one third of th... ]]> =Q-tan-chan Don't threat http://Q-tan-chan.deviantart.com/journal/21449316/ http://Q-tan-chan.deviantart.com/journal/21449316/ Wed, 12 Nov 2008 05:39:02 PST

Special Ops Rescue American Hostage in Nighttime Raid in Afghanistan

"A team of about 30 special operators composed mostly of Navy SEALs flew into the mountains outside Kabul on October 14 to retrieve the 61-year-old American businessman, killing his captors and returning him to safety after nearly two months in captivity, according to an account in the Army Times."

Talk about a mission that should be headline news! All 30 of those men should be HEROES. Yes I know, itÂs all in a dayÂs work, but that's not the point. These men risked their lives for a total stranger. That isn't normal, that's what makes them Heroes. I salute those brave and heroic 30 SEALS who went in to harmÂs way to bring freedom to one man.
----
In other news Atheist are picking up an ad campaign called ÂWhy believe in God? Be good for goodness sake.Â Obviously they missed the point. The belief in nothing ÂAtheismÂ thinks that I believe in God, because it what I believe makes me good? No, I make me Good, I am Good for Goodness sake and God has nothing to do with it. God gave me freewill, I can be who I want to be, and I choose to be good. He is a representation of all things, not only Good things. He loves me no more or less than he does an Atheist.

Some Atheist seem to think that their belief is better than mine, which is the direct problem with Religion itself. So in their effort to leave faith for its ÂI am better than everyone elseÂ thinking, they created a new pseudo religion built on nothing, but still acts like the very thing they donÂt like in religion.

The Irony of it all makes me laugh, I see Atheist as I do all mankind, you got to love them for trying to be different but in the end being nothing but the same.

I been watching Macross Frontier from start to finish and now I have a lot of the songs stuck in my head.

The series is smashing, one of the best Macross series, since the original series. Then again anything is better than Macross 7, which looks like they gave the Animation department to a bunch of dyslexic Kangaroos. Anyhoot long story short I have Interstellar Flight stuck in my head.

Bare witness to Change?

For the next four years, the United States of America will have nothing other than a Socialist for a President. A Socialist, boy is Europe laughing now. This is not to Say the Senator from Arizona was the best man for the job, far from it but he was the better man for the job.

Any man, beyond politics or ideas who suppresses or shows great disconnect for those who do not support him are dangerous. What am I referring too? That is simple the removal of Reports from Senator or should I say President-electsÂ airplane because their views and bosses supported the other man. The suppression of releasing ones own history, preventing those from looking into their college records.

When just four years ago, a Vice PresidentÂs association with a company called Halliburton was so important and now President=electÂs association with a Anti-Semitic Racist Pastor, Marxist sympathizing Domestic Terrorist, a Slum lord, and a Islamic Terrorist spokesman is so... irrelevant.

President Bush I feel was not a great president, however he did do well. 11% of the Middle class turned into upper-class, the American dream. He freed millions from slavery, an act of compassion that yes cost blood and treasure, but gave a gift greater than that even if itÂs just a chance. I argue this, even if one is given a chance, isnÂt having a chance for Freedom greater than having none at all. Somehow one would argue no, I called that coldhearted selfishness. Maybe America didnÂt do enough, maybe we should be in Darfur as well. As for everything else on the currents President agenda, education, immigration, he has done horrible.

All has changed, we have drank a new kool-aid, and now we will find out why European Nations are so economically limited and why the US was so dominate. Yes, we are now told paying Taxes is Patriotic, that the Rich need to pay more, and that spreading the wealth around is a good thing. The President-elect himself said that the Constitution is just a document of negative liberties... Wait?

The United States was largely what is because we did not believe taxes were patriotic, in fact revolted form the King over just a 3% increase in taxes. Becoming rich is the American dream, and suppressing that does not create more rich, it never has it never will. As for the US Constitution being a document of negative Liberties? It seems this man never really read it, for it is the corner stone of civilized man.

But America has voted, in a odd way mob mentality has taken shape we will now have a socialist as President of the most powerful nation on earth. Well was the most powerful nation on earth. There is a reason why Socialistic nations canÂt perform well in the World market of economy and Ideas, the days of the Hyper-power is over. America will soon suffer just like everyone else, we will gain the respect of others because we do not pose a threat to the evil in it, or make their peoples and standard of leaving look so horrible.

A new America is born today, one where yes we will not be able to be the worldÂs police, where we will have to deal with new problems within. Where free speech is optional (Fairness Doctrine) Opposition is removed for planes, and where leaving the American dream is punished swiftly and harshly. Even with all of this America will live on. We have survived this before. Hoover, Carter.... this might make the other two look like saints but we will survive.

9-11 is upon us, may we never forget that horrible day.

I am also following the news that a "Fire" has broken out in The Channel Tunnel that links England to France. Reports are just coming in but it is said that the fire is on the French side and that the Kent Fire and Rescue Service described it as a "serious incident".

I pray this is not an ongoing attack

Update:
Thankfully the tunnel fire is just an accident form what information I can find. It is a reminder to be ever vigilant, Islamic Terrorism can strike anywhere at anytime

I stand in Solidarity with Georgia, her people and her Allies. On Monday Georgia made a human Chain, through the streets of their cities, and the stone paths of their towns. The American Media is covered with Election Fever, and maybe rightly so. Because One man says what he will do, and the other babbles around with verbal garbage unable to give a straight answer, even for the people of Georgia.

To save Georgia, and to save others from Russian invasion, Only Presidential Candidate John McCain will do it. Not to be political just stating the facts, Obama will not save Georgia. Enough of America, who so quickly takes advantage of their freedoms.

Priests joined hands with enthusiastic teenagers. More sedate youngsters prayed in Rustaveli Avenue before the Kashueti Church. Catholicos-Patriarch of all Georgia Ilia II blessed the human chain, which wound up the hill to Sameba Cathedral. Inside Sameba, a power greater than any tank was in charge. With the serenity gained inside Sameba, gazing down the marble promenade, across the city, the reason for the hullabaloo was clear: Georgia won; Putin's Russia lost.

One westerner scoffed at this conclusion. "It looks like a football game; too many flags; disgusting, with all these people dead." Sorry. If you do not understand it, then you do not understand it.

The human chain was not a funeral procession; the anthem, "Freedom" is not a funeral dirge. The girl with the green sneakers, the priests, the old ladies did not march like Putin's tin soldiers in a Red Square Mayday parade. They gaggled-proud, defiant and cacophonous. They celebrated Georgia the Georgian way. Under the gaze of Russian invaders-in some places, literally-while effete westerners dithered, they joined hands to say, we are Georgia and we will stop Russia.

The staff and volunteers of Information Center on NATO wore the best T-shirt of the day: "We are from Georgia's future!" Indeed! Georgia's human chain leads to the future; Putin's tanks lead to the past.

For GeorgiaÂs Future.... So say we all!

Other then my support for Georgia I was going to promise myself to keep Politics to a bare minimum. However I haven't felt this excited for a person in politics since I first read about the Great President Regan, a man who was one of the greatest presidents and Americans of our my short lifetime.

In other news art mainly I have been pestered and pestered by others on drawing Anime again. Apparently they think it would be cool to mix it up a bit. Maybe do even some fan art. Well you persistent ones, I will.

My first piece was to just test the waters per say, A totally Random girl wearing a totally random uniform I found from my girls friends stash of pictures of the high School she works at. Yeah I know itÂs a Lacrosse Uniform, but I am slowly working myself into this OKAY! Other Originals will be Characters from the RP Series I play, and some WOW characters. But Fan Art wise Iwill stick to what I watch. One friend

got me into a Anime called Code Geess (sp) and my personal fav, Macross Frontier.
