    Sleep Apnea

    I use a cpap machine and it definitely makes a difference. I've been using it for about 7 years now. You eventually get used to it. It is part of my routine now.
  4. The Beatles official site has put up a special section http://www.thebeatles.com/sgtpepper/ (Officially it premiered on June 2nd in the US) It would be the first Beatles' Album that I owned. I had gotten my first record player that previous Christmas. This was the beginning of a lifelong interest. I bought it at Ann and Hope in Lincoln and I paid, I believe, $2.88 for the mono version (The stereo version was a dollar more) I would buy the Stereo version about 4 years later in Ireland.
  5. Tonight I will be interviewing Joseph Pasquella, a former follower of the Way International. His journey is an interesting one in that his path is now with the Catholic Church. He's going to talk about his journey and, if time permits, talk a bit about the Trinity and Jesus Christ is not God. I had to make it later than normal due to Joe's schedule today. There will be some time set aside for questions. If you want to ask a question then you need to log into talkshoe.com
  6. ilb, I am not going to apologize for my opinion. And I don't really care if you agree or not, it's a free country. WHAT I is as Pond said, my opinion. One of the great things about GS is that you experience the transition from having to agree with the TWI byline of the day to the absolutely wonderful world of debate, disagreements and critical thinking. If you choose to leave because we don't see eye to eye, that is your decision and I respect that. But please don't leave because of my opinion of your wow brother. My opinion is based on about 6 years of aggravation by him on this forum, but that is my opinion. I have not in any way censored you or your husband. I have let you vent your frustration. I stay very low key on this forum. In chat one night, someone fairly new, asked how long I had been on GS. I liked that. It isn't about me. If getting angry with me helps your journey, get angry!! If leaving GS helps your journey, then leave. Best wishes.

  8. Greetings, The official soundtrack for the Emmy nominated Frisbee: The Life & Death of a Hippie Preacher is finally ready for release. The soundtrack includes some of the best rock tunes from the Jesus movement, from some of the earliest Christian rock bands of the era. The songs capture that unique time where proclamation of received truth was of utmost urgency heightened by an electric feel of apocalyptic anticipation in the air. You can relive that time again or hear it for the first time by introducing yourselves to the following bands: Agape - The earliest of the hard rocking "Jesus rock" bands featuring the vision of Hendrix-like guitarist Fred Caban. Fred was converted while attended a Huntington Beach coffeehouse called "The Lightclub," run by the Berg family who eventually morphed into the Children of God. From Azusa, California, Caban later became part of a group of hippie Christians that gathered and met regularly in Covina Park. Rev. Don Williams, then youth minister at Hollywood Presbyterian and later a Vineyard Church minister, cites Agape as being an influence upon Larry Norman, coaxing him to begin writing Christian rock music. The All Saved Freak Band - One of the greatest band names of the time, the ASFB was an apocalyptic rock band built around the talent of Glenn Schwartz, former lead guitar with The James Gang and Pacific Gas & Electric. The ASFB was an outgrowth of an end-times church whose founder, Larry Hill, was an evangelistically-minded minister who gathered a flock of disaffected young people to build an isolationist community in the Ohio area. Lead singer and guitar player Joe Markko has one of the all-time great rock 'n' roll voices. Joy - The very first rock band at Calvary Chapel made up of Scott Lockwood, David Burgin and Jim Golden, they predated even Love Song, the group most synonymous with early Calvary Chapel. Their country rock stylings were typical of much that would emerge from the future Maranatha! Music company. Gentle Faith - The members lived at the Blue Top commune which was a ramshackle motel overseen by Lonnie & Connie Frisbee, and whose rooms were taken over by newly converted hippies. Stonewood Cross - Not much is known about this mid-70s band other than they hailed from Michigan and played a number of Christian festivals. The CD is $15.99 by itself but can be purchased with a DVD of the documentary for $29.99. David Di Sabatino www.lonniefrisbee.com
  9. Read the info first, then watch the clip....link below. And you thought those people that set up roomfuls of dominos to knock over were amazing. There are no computer graphics or digital tricks in the film linked below. Everything you see really happened in real time exactly as you see it. The film took 606 takes. On the first 605 takes, something, usually very minor, didn't work. They would then have to set the whole thing up again. The crew spent weeks shooting night and day. By the time it was over, they were ready to change professions. The film cost six million dollars and took three months to complete including full engineering of the sequence. In addition, it's two minutes long so every time Honda airs the film on British television, they're shelling out enough dough to keep any one of us in clover for a lifetime. However, it is fast becoming the most downloaded advertis ement in Internet history. Honda executives figure the ad will soon pay for itself simply in "free viewings" (Honda isn't paying a dime to have you watch this commercial!). When the ad was pitched to senior executives, they signed off on it immediately without any hesitation ? including the costs. There are six and only six hand-made Honda Accords in the world. To the horror of Honda engineers, the filmmakers disassembled two of them to make the film. Everything you see in the film (aside from the walls, floor, ramp, and complete Honda Accord) is parts from those two cars. The voiceover is Garrison Keillor. When the ad was shown to Honda executives, they liked it and commented on how amazing computer graphics have become. They fell off their chairs when they found out it was for real. Oh, and about those funky windshield wipers. On the new Accords, the wind shield wipers have water sensors and are designed to start doing their thing automatically as soon as they become wet.

    Thanks cool, They need to vent something so let them.
  18. In the original thread, I stated that I was sent more than one email Friday night. You've seen the well known one, you haven't seen the others. I wish I had access to my pawtucket email here at work, but a firewall disallows that.

    I'd like to chime in here. I went into TMI overdrive yesterday. Without going into all the gory details, someone used Free's profile and my profile to post inflammatory posts about a long time poster here. I was advised about it and thought that it was just on my profile. Later I was to find that it was on Free's profile also. This person then sent emails threatening to tell the torrid details about someone's past (about 5 years ago) Through a series of PM's over the next few days there was the insinuation that Free and another poster were somehow involved or complicit in this activity. Neither of them were. The person that posted these posts and email did it on his own. He was man enough to lay out the details to me last night. Free just happened to be the profile that was targeted. I hope you will reconsider (maybe you have, i haven't read this whole thread) Rumors have the ability to run faster than the truth.
