    Yes, but she was out on bail for the charges related to her daughter's disappearance. She was rearrested on the fraud related charges... indeed, locked up for good... that's the idea of throwing away the key...I think!
  2. What does it make my if I don't believe you?
  3. Well ManRam had another Manny evening... at least two HRs and a double... and the Trolley Dodgers finally ended their losing streak.
  4. What's that proverb? Pride goeth before a fall. Ain't that the truth?
  5. I agree completely. Daren Sutton, one of the two Dbacks TV guys (main guys, others fill in when Grace is doing Fox Saturday games) PLAYFULLY got on Scully's case a few weeks ago... but made it very clear it was only playfully, because, as you said (and SUTTON KNOWS) You do NOT disrespect Vin Scully. And Sutton and Grace are VERY playful during game broadcasts...
  6. Hey, at least you still have Vin Scully!
  7. My highest is Leader, with Reformer next highest... my most negative score... PEACEMAKER? I'm shocked! ;)
  8. I don't think those Trolley Dodgers are feeling very lucky these days... they made it 8 in a row and are now 4.5 behind the Dbacks. Manny didn't do half bad tonight... 4-4-4 and scored two of LAs 3 runs. He had two strikes on him with two outs in the 9th. Instead of being the last out, he doubled... only prolonging the agony. Yeah, wasn't she just nominated to be Vice-president or something?
  9. You've got some peacemaker in you also... IMO (not professional opinion, of course).

    Casey Anthony arrested on fraud charges
  11. I'm a peacemaker.... (NOT!)
  12. "Baseball is a game of adjustments." I don't know who said it first, but it's said a lot these days. Replay is just one more thing to adjust to... and WE have to adjust to it at least as much as the players and coaches and umpires. And we will... eventually. But I understand the need to vent about it.

    It is national, but not with as much emphasis as it must be in your community. How a mother (or a father) could do anything like this is just beyond my comprehension. Imagine how bad Caylee's grandmother must be feeling now.

    I've never had to deal with anything like bail/bonds, but it would seem reasonable that if he wanted to say "never mind" he should be allowed to do so...
  16. Jim and Hap are correct. Unless you are the person, there's not much you can get, let alone get ahold of quickly... regarding military history that is... Military records, for the most part, are NOT public records available to everyone. And yes, as Rumrunner said, the DD-214 is THE form that has the information you are looking for, but unless you get it from the person him/herself, good luck.

    Oh, okay... thanks.
  18. The Associated Press is now reporting that MLB will begin using instant replay on Thursday.

    The site is finally back online! :)
  21. Well, anything I was thinking or potentially implying can be found in the essence of what dooj added. Yet, RG, it's quite obvious that before the most recent history of modern civilization it was difficult to even IMAGINE exploring space. So, to me it's understandable that no one writing down scriptures could have even seriously considered what's in Genesis to have included space exploration. I personally would prefer more of a focus (in the scientific community) on what is now the recognized field of Sustainability, than on space exploration. But it's absolutely inevitable that mankind would be needing to expand the (actual physical) boundaries of what we know. And as soon as people were willing to IMAGINE exploring space, doing so became inevitable. To me, it seems that what C.S. Lewis did was to read scripture and use his imagination. Can you IMAGINE how long Galileo must have took after gazing into the sky with telescopes, fighting with his own mind trying to avoid the realization that the earth is NOT center of the universe? But at some point, he could NOT avoid the realization of what he was observing. Change is difficult. For one person as well as for society. But it's in our genes to explore. Set a new horizon, and someone is going to find it necessary to explore beyond it.
  22. Well, didn't God say something to Adam and Eve about going forth and multiplying? Was that limited to earth? I could rattle off a couple of things I've gleaned from interesting cable/sat channels (like the Science channel or Discovery HD theater) but that would only provide fodder (IMO) for people to suggest God would not want that or if we trusted God we wouldn't need this, etc.
  23. So, he was about 91 when he died? That's awesome! I hope he'll be an inspiration to you for the rest of your life too. Thanks for sharing him with us. :)

    Indeed, the problem is not with any people in particular. Ning.com has had its hands very full since Friday with a corporate problem that impacted its computer/technical operation and ultimately had some adverse impact on our site. We do expect it to be back up anytime, but have to be patient with ning. It is, afterall, a free service that they provide. If/when I learn that it is back in operation, I will let everyone here and all the wc site members know... :)
