As near as I can tell (using Google Fu), this song was never released as a single in the US (thus no US airplay), but might have gotten UK airplay, which counts. ================= Ok, moving on. "All the people we used to know, they're an illusion to me now."

For this thread, we only need the song, so you're correct. If we needed the artist, this would be wrong. The song is best known for SOFT CELL's version. They transitioned it from "Tainted Love" to "Where Did Our Love Go", which WAS a Supremes song. The Supremes never recorded "Tainted Love" and never recorded the line I quoted outside of "Tainted Love." A LOT of artists did covers of this song. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tainted_Love Your turn, soul searcher! -

I'm thinking it's a Jethro Tull song. Ian Anderson sometimes went off at the establishment. I may have READ these lyrics, but I haven't heard this song.

That would have been my guess, too..... *wild swing* "Escape From L.A."?

Data incomplete to draw a conclusion. How many of those people became religious only AFTER spending time in prison? We're all aware of various religions reaching out to inmates and people either converting in prison or CLAIMING conversions.

In a lot of cases, you didn't even have to know anything about herbalism or first aid. Accusations of witchcraft (almost always women) didn't need anything factual to be pegged to any more than a lack of popularity and political influence on behalf of the accused. Accusations of lycanthropy/werewolves (almost always men) didn't need anything factual to be pegged to any more than a lack of popularity and political influence on behalf of the accused. The "witch hunts" and the Spanish Inquisition served both to unite the locals by giving them a manufactured "outsider" to dislike, and to bring lots of confiscated goods and property to those running the show. They were quite profitable.

Personally, I find it a shame that the Associated Press began this story with such an error in the first sentence. Modern "druids" are not practicing the same religion as the "original druids." The originals did not leave written records! This article seems to say there's an UNBROKEN HISTORICAL CHAIN between the modern "druids" and the ancient "druids." ===================================== "LONDON — The ancient pagan tradition of Druidry has been formally recognized as a religion in Britain — a decision its followers hailed Saturday as as a long-overdue status for the worship of spirits and the natural world." "Druids have practiced for thousands of years in Britain, worshipping natural forces such as thunder and the sun, and spirits they believe arise from places such as mountains and rivers." ====================================== Mind you, I think these guys can worship however they wish, and if they want to consider themselves a modern successor to ancient Druids, I think that's fine. (Some Christians consider themselves modern successors to first-Century AD Christianity, so it's only fair....) I find rewriting history, however, to be inappropriate.

I think there was more than one purpose. As a long-term program, it failed. As a source of free labor for the root locales, it was a great success.

There is something called a built-in "firewall" for Windows, but it's not adequate. It's there to turn on when setting up the computer, and for minimizing damage while you download a REAL software firewall. One of the reasons I say that is that it completely lacks security for outbound traffic. If some malware makes it onto your PC, then the firewall should ask for permission when the new program suddenly tries to dial out and contact a computer outside yours. The Windows firewalls will not do that- and it's the last defense of any PC with malware problems, and the last warning. BTW, all firewalls and antivirus programs slow PCs a tiny bit. That's them doing their jobs. Generally, they slow it very little, so you don't notice it. If you're getting a significant slowdown, then either A) You have a PC with a slow microprocessor, one with a speed measured in mb instead of gb or B) You have a PC that's already running far, far too many processes all simultaneously, which means you need to switch some from "automatic" to "manual" so they don't start up until you open the program, or C) You have a PC with many infections running as processes all simultaneously. I knew someone who had this problem. When they finally decided to take PC security seriously, it took 2 days to clear out over 2000 infections, viruses, and other pieces of malware. When we were done, they now had several security programs added to their PC- but they had no less space since the malware was taking up a lot of space that it no longer did. They also said their PC hadn't run as fast as it now did since it was brand new.

Correct!

Neither.

I was raised Roman Catholic, and I knew a lot about Roman Catholicism for my age. (I also knew enough to know I found it lacking the answers I needed, and left pretty young.) About other Christians I was almost absent of knowledge, and I knew even less about other religious groups. I'm no expert on them now, but I've learned a LOT more since then.

It is. Most good episodes have been done at least once already. Feel free to re-do one. (This one's been done more than twice before, IIRC.)

If that's not RAIN MAN, I'll be deeply shocked.

Next episode. "When are you going to get off that milk diet, lad?" "This is vodka." "Where I come from, that's soda pop. Now this is a drink for a man." "Scotch?" "Aye." "It was invented by a little old lady from Leningrad."

Programs-Control Panel-Security Center should give you the section showing your firewall and antivirus names, which would settle which you're using. I suppose the only way to check if your IP address has been misused would be to Google the IP address and see if warnings came up from security websites, or something. There may be other ways-I wouldn't know them. I'm into free security to prevent intrusions and access in the first place.

Please note that if you have an antivirus but no FIREWALL, you're missing a vital part of the process. ZoneAlarm and Comodo have reliable, free firewalls that are easy to use. As for Firefox, Flashblock is good, but NoScript is better. With NoScript up and running on your Firefox, all websites have to be PERMITTED to run javascripts before they run at all. You'll be amazed about how many DIFFERENT websites are trying to run Javascripts while you're at ONE website. My tip? Generally, the website you're on is safe to permit Scripts for. If you're unsure, you can give temporary permissions to it. And when in doubt, Google the domain name and see if it's an ad site. It's my personal opinion that NoScript has pretty much clobbered whatever thought it could slip my antivirus and firewall. Once again, I have lots of protection, all for the grand total of $00.00

Well, it's kind of spelled out now, but this is the episode where Worf's upset because the late Jadzia, according to Worf, died and didn't make it to Sto-vo-kor, the Klingon Valhalla. (So he has Vic sing "their" song and trashes the nightclub without explaining why. Then Miles gets Worf drinking so he'll explain why-leading to Miles' hangover.) He can get her there-but only by winning a great battle in her name. So, he's off to a big battle, and the Defiant comes along. Towards the end, Julian and Miles discuss "the Charge of the Light Brigade", which is NOT a subject I'd want to discuss going into battle. (The light brigade was given foolish orders and followed them- leading to their trying to charge through a "killing field" and being moved down by cannon fire.)

That's the one. Neil Young wrote this song in response to the stories of Flight 97. It became often-requested on radio stations and an underground hit despite an absence of a company promoting it. People just kept requesting it. Critics, actually, panned the song. To many people, this proved that music didn't need "critics" and they (the critics) often were full of baloney. http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xlzxu_neil-young-lets-roll_music http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rg6kLk38GTE ============================== *cell phone rings* "I know I said I love you,I know you know it's true. I've got to put the phone down, and do what we got to do. One's standing in the aisle-way, two more at the door. We've got to get inside there before they kill some more. Time is runnin' out-Let's roll. Time is runnin' out-Let's roll. No time for indecision-we've got to make a move. I hope that were forgiven for what we have to do. How this all got started, I will never understand. I hope someone can fly this thing, and get us back to land. Time is runnin' out-Let's roll. Time is runnin' out-Let's roll. No one has the answer, but one thing is true- You've got to turn on evil when it's coming after you. You've gotta face it down, and when it tries to hide, You've gotta go in after it,and never be denied, Time is runnin' out-Let's roll. Let's roll for freedom, Let's roll for love. We're going after satan on the wings of a dove. Let's roll for justice, Let's roll for truth. Let's not let our children grow up fearful in their youth. Time is runnin' out-Let's roll. Time is runnin' out-Let's roll. Time is runnin' out-Let's roll. " -
