Oliver Stoned on Hugo !

While Venezuelan media outlets that criticize Hugo Chavez's regime get the duct tape treatment, Oliver Stone is out seeking to promote a movie that lionizes the autocrat. The increasingly leftist filmmaker just can't seem to shake his "Thug-Love" having already wasted money on the productions of Fidel Castro and Yasser Arafat flicks. Now he's got a documentary called, "South of the Border" that heralds Hugo as well as 6 other South American socialist leaders.

"None of them are Dictators" says Oliver, looking unashamedly more like a South-of-the-Border dictator himself. His co-lover of Banana Republics, Sean Penn, is obviously delighted with Hugo being the main feature of the film. Penn has repeatedly praised Hugo for his anti-American stance and tight-fisted control of any complaints from his citizens. Sick little bastard.

Stone has been on tour of Latin America, on a marketing campaign for his film. Surprise, surprise--the beleaguered citizens of Venezuela decided not to show up to watch the whitewash of their so-called president. Many of the theaters were reportedly EMPTY! During the first 12 days of the movie's release, it brought in only $18,601 on 20 screens. That's what Venezuelans refer to as "la Bomba".

Venezuelans have been force-fed a steady diet of Chavez's mug on TV, which makes Hugo (the despot) more overexposed than Pamela Anderson doing the rumba on "Dancing with the Stars". Stone and the Hollywood leftist sympathizers of these dictatorial Pond Scum should reacquaint themselves with the Declaration of Independence which categorically states: Authority is derived from the governed, not through control.

The way I see it....Stone shouldn't worry too much though. "South of the Border" is sure to be a big hit with Marxist professors, socialist union bosses and most of all with the anti-democratic apologists running the White House.

Songs for Teaching

I used to post Websites of the week for a homeschooling forum that I moderated through the years. Since having a preschooler, I found myself revisiting them while finding new websites for resources, so I thought I'd share. Songs for Teaching is wonderful for teaching concepts such as directions, body parts, opposites, weather and seasons plus more!This site provides educational songs for just

Stay Tuned..

This week we officially start our summer break from Homeschooling. For the next several weeks, I'll be devoting time to having some well deserved indoor and outdoor fun with my family. We plan on going to the water park, seeing movies, going to the children's museum, nature trails and hikes, homeschool playdates with other families, and visiting extended family through the next two months.

Your Heart, Your Soul

In Proverbs 23:7 we read:
"For as a man thinketh in his heart so is he."

I don't know about you, but I find this interesting.
One would imagine, we think with the brain.
Yet Gods Word clearly tells us here, "as a man thinketh, IN HIS HEART!"

I'll just remind you a little about the heart.
It is approximately the size of your fist.
It pumps 5 litres (almost 8 pints) of blood around your body in one minute.
It has an electrical system that charges and fires to keep it in sinus rhythm (beating smoothly). 

Stress fear and LOVE have an effect on the heart.
What you eat, if you exercise, smoke or whether you breath properly all effect the heart.
I have written about some of this in previous postings.

This time I want to enlighten, in simple terms, on the value of magnesium.
I first recognised this myself when suffering from restless leg syndrome.
There is nothing worse than trying to sleep and your legs won't stop twitching.
One of my doctor colleagues who also believes in natural therapies explained magnesium depletion.   Apparently my leg movements were one of the symptoms.
Further research revealed other benefits from taking this Wonder Mineral.
Actually, many will be familiar with its more common name of, Epsom Salts.
It assists in healthy heart rhythm, promotes normal muscle and nerve function (also within the heart), resulting in restful sleep and calmed leg muscles.
So with better circulation there is less stress on the heart.
I hope this helps..... 
(And hey, it also assists with constipation.)
MAGNESIUM IS BROUGHT IN TABLET FORM
FROM PHARMACIES AND WAL-MART.

                                                                    

                                                          

Spiritual Sundays, Out back.

Our sunflowers about a month ago before dying off and leaving the seed for the birds to feed on.

This is a female king parrot.

           

One of my favourites is the Bird O Paradise. It grows in my side yard.

                                                                     

The taller plant is a Kangaroo paw, we have them in three different colours.

They grow up to approx four feet tall. The dark pink is a Lilly.

                                                             

                                                             

There are always visitors close by.

                                              

In the Palm tree.

                                                              


And White Cockatoo's on the overhead wires.

                                                          


Frangapani in the back yard.

With the yummy Paw Paw tree.

Its been growing about a year. This is our first crop of fruit. 

Look at the size! They turn a yellow orange colour when ripe.

 

And a little bit of America to help my hubby feel at home.

Where we lived in Tennessee was Cherokee country.

So a chief smokes his peace pipe in our garden.

                                                              

JESUS SAID.....
"Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you.
Not as the world gives do I give to you.
Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid."

John 14:27

Start of Summer Break!

We finished about a week and a half ahead of schedule and last night we embarked on our Summer break time! As a treat we are took the boys to see Toy Story 3. The boys were excited the whole day and to get ready for our viewing of it, the boys watched our DVDs of Toy Story and Toy Story 2. I have to admit I was excited too! What a great start to our Summer break!We have the original Woody doll

Back... with many pretties

I've been gone waaay too long. I took a long vacation to Oklahoma (did you know it's hot there?), and while it's nice to get away I couldn't be happier to be home. The hotel I stayed at had a Dollar Tree right down the street, and a Sally's just a block from the local Wal-mart. Both of these I have never been to, and both of these I hauled from.

Sounds like a fun trip, huh? Not so much. I got bit by a rattlesnake, and yes, it got me with some venom. I was in a car that was headbutted by a pissed off bison. And I had a tarantula the size of my shoe jump at my legs, which elicited a scream that is only heard by those who are in mortal danger. Okay, so I'm not an out doorsey kind of girl... that much I think anyone can see. And while I did get a few manis in (within the safe, air conditioned sanctuary of the Holiday Inn), I also didn't get a single picture of my NOTD's (there were only 3, but I'm still ashamed).

The good news is that I came home refreshed, and scared enough of nature to want to stay inside and swatch pretty nail polishes all day. And my fear of nature wasn't helped by the fact that my Minnesota home-coming was completely filled with tornadoes. Luckily I live outside the fray, and I still managed to get in some good pictures!
