With their own hands compassionate women
have cooked their own children,
who became their food
when my people were destroyed.

fast food nation

New York City - AP National News: "A man is suing a fast-food restaurant operator for more than $50,000, claiming he found a slice of skin on his chicken sandwich.

David Scheiding filed the lawsuit in Montgomery County Common Pleas Court on April 1 after rejecting a settlement offer from GZK Inc., his lawyer said. GZK owns the Arby's restaurant in Tipp City where he bought the sandwich.

Scheiding said he realized something wasn't right when he bit into the sandwich on June 18 and found a piece of flesh about three-fourths of an inch long.

'It looked like I was seeing fingerprints on it,' he said. 'I got sick and went to the bathroom.'

Miami County health investigators talked to the restaurant manager, who had a bandage on his right thumb and wore a latex glove, according to a health district report. The manager said he sliced skin from the thumb while shredding lettuce, and sanitized the area but didn't throw away the bin of lettuce, the report said. Scheiding's sandwich contained lettuce.

'Why wasn't the food searched, and why wasn't it thrown away?' said Scheiding's lawyer, Hank Hyde.

Christine Koeller, vice president of marketing and communications with GZK, said what happened was unintentional.

'(The manager) did destroy product that was in and around the slicer immediately, and did everything that he thought was appropriate to do,' Koeller said. "

Duke's Coach K, Bush assert importance of teamwork in life at Texas A&M

Yahoo! Sports - NCAA Men's Basketball : "Duke University head coach Mike Krzyzewski saluted Former President George H. W. Bush and shared tips on how to excel at life and the game of basketball.

Krzyzewski joined Bush and CBS commentator Jim Nantz for the Bush Leadership Forum in Rudder Auditorium at Texas A&M University on Monday.

The salute was something Krzyzewski, a U.S. Military Academy graduate, said he has wanted to do since the first time he met the president.

'Coach Krzyzewski has values, an innate sense of decency and a commitment to friends and family I admire,' Bush said. 'Even if he didn't go to West Point, his character alone would make me a big fan of his. He and everyone in his program play to win in life, and that's the way it should be.'

During the forum, Krzyzewski discussed the five things he teaches Duke players to make them not only good people in basketball, but also good people in life."

Finally

We paid off our last credit card over the weekend. They just posted it and we are officially debt free (except our house...). It's beginning to feel a little more real now.

It's on like neckbone.

The Landlord Will Return Next Season: "Duke University head coach Mike Krzyzewski announced that Shelden Williams will return for his senior season in 2005-06.

So what NFL player's jersey would you consider wearing? My list is as follows:

• Kurt Warner - STL Rams, old Blue and Yellow one from '99
• Michael Vick - not the Ron Mexico one, probably Red Alt Home jersey
• Tom Brady - Blue home jersey, mostly just to irritate Colts fans so that isn't the most noble reason
• Derrick Thomas - Bucs, he's just cool

Tricks of the Trade: "Skydriving Instructor

Students using a Static Line or Instructor Assisted Deployment method (i.e., a solo jump where the parachute opens automatically and the instructor stays in aircraft) will sometimes refuse to jump

You would never force or throw them out of the airplane, of course. But they don't know that. If you give them a small shake -- just to demonstrate that you could toss them out if you wanted to -- they will almost always jump themselves ... and thank you afterwards."

Woke up with this song in my head

Lyrics: I See Love: "I See Love
by Third Day, Steven Curtis Chapman, and MercyMe
from 'The Passion of the Christ: Songs

Some see a teacher
Standing on a hill
Speaking words of wisdom
Some see a healer
Reaching out his hand
To give sight to a blind man
Some see a dreamer
Wasting his life
On what can never be
Some see a fool
Dying for his dreams

But I see love (I see love)
I see love (I see love)
Light of heaven breaking through
Well I see grace (I see grace)
I see God's face (I See Gods face)
Shining pure and perfect love
When I see you
I see love

Some see a prisoner
Alone before his judge
With no one to defend him
Some see a victim
Beaten and abused
With all the world against him
Some see a martyr
Carrying his cross
For what he believes
Some see a hero
Who set his people free

But I see love (I see love)
I see love (I see love)
Light of heaven breaking through
Well I see grace (I see grace)
I see God's face (I See Gods face)
Shining pure and perfect love
When I see you

With your last breath
I see love
Through your death
I see love
I see peace in the eyes of the king
I see hope in your suffering (I see love)
I see a calm in the center of the storm
I see a Saviour

I see love
I see love
Light of heaven breaking through (heaven breaking through)
I see grace
I see God's face
Shining pure and perfect love
When I see you
I see love
When I see you
I see heaven breaking through
See Gods face
Shining pure and perfect love
When I see you
When I see you
When I see you
I see love
I see love
When I see

Some see Him walking from an empty grave"

Top 100 April Fool's Day Hoaxes Of All Time

Top 100 April Fool's Day Hoaxes Of All Time: "#8: The Left-Handed Whopper
In 1998 Burger King published a full page advertisement in USA Today announcing the introduction of a new item to their menu: a 'Left-Handed Whopper' specially designed for the 32 million left-handed Americans. According to the advertisement, the new whopper included the same ingredients as the original Whopper (lettuce, tomato, hamburger patty, etc.), but all the condiments were rotated 180 degrees for the benefit of their left-handed customers. The following day Burger King issued a follow-up release revealing that although the Left-Handed Whopper was a hoax, thousands of customers had gone into restaurants to request the new sandwich. Simultaneously, according to the press release, 'many others requested their own 'right handed' version.'"

The Education of a Carnival Con Artist

Amazon.com: Books: Eyeing the Flash : The Education of a Carnival Con Artist: "Not a book for the true carnie, January 28, 2005
Reviewer: Carol (Oklahoma)
I was intrigued by the title of this book and had heard good things about it. However, being a true carnival worker myself, the life depicted in the book is not even close to the life of a real carnival con artist. For 12 years I have worked at the guess your weight booth at a traveling carnival. Let me tell you it is no easy life, nor is it glamorous and sexy as this book would have you believe. Also, people eat really fatty foods when they come to the carnival and that makes my job so very difficult. You may enjoy this book, but if you have friends who are real carnies, tell them they are better off spending their money at their own carnival and winning a goldfish that will die within a week. That will be more exciting than this book. Then again, since I don't read very well, I did have someone read it out loud to me so I hope they were really reading what was on the page and not making things up as they went along. "
