i was listening to the radio and they were talking about a new social networking site launched today does anyone know what it twas called?
Was it this one? This is fairly new: http://www.cornwallscoolest.com/
Alright, before I begin I want to clarify a few things. I am a reasonable, average person. I am definitely straightforward and practical, so what I am about to tell you is a big step forward by myself. I just need someone else’s opinion on it because of its extreme nature.
So; here goes. A few nights ago I had a dream to rival all dreams. It began as my family and I were gathered around the fire listening to the radio as an Emergency Broadcast System alert interrupted a Minnesota Twins game. It informed us that the Russian Federation had deceived our defense networks and were launching a large scale invasion. It went on to say that marshall law as to be instated and that all people in an unaffected city or region to stay put until further notice. Then I randomly moved forward to a future point in time. I was on a cold battlefield with my own rifle in my hand. As I became aware of my surroundings, I immediately was overcome with a surge of rage and anguish. As I looked down, I could see my friend ( who is also only 16 as I am ) laying in front of me with blood pouring out of his stomach. I knew he was dead. As I struggled to cope with what was occurring, a massive roar of thousands of voices captured my attention and brought me back to reality. I looked around, and everyone was charging forward to overtake a hazy ridge. As we overwhelmed the Russian forces they turned back in a retreat. As I came to the top of the ridge, I immediately recognized a city skyline in the distance, it was that of Minneapolis. It was devastated. smoke was billowing from several areas of the city and from some of the skyscrapers themselves. For the moment we had won, and we rested for an oncoming battle. This gave me enough time to go back to the hill, find my friend’s body, and give him a proper burial. I cannot express the intense sadness I felt as this occurred, but it soon ended as I moved forward in time once again. It was dawn, and very cold. US Army and Marine forces had arrived to give what appeared to be a mass of civilians the help that we needed. A siren sounded in the background and we charged forward, the city was probably 2-3 miles away and I ran along with hummers and tanks and personnel carriers. Big bombers appeared overhead, and destroyed all that lay ahead in preparation for our apparent assault to retake the Twin Cities. As we approached the city center, I could see Russians everywhere. I was directed to go in a medium sized office building with another 3 or 4 soldiers and provide sniper support. We immediately started mowing the enemy down, I was shooting as fast as I could and totally slaughtering retreating Russians. But something seemed odd. We were winning, yet our forces had begun a hasty retreat. I soon realized what was the matter. Above me appeared a massive fireball, and as soon as it appeared, all the tanks and vehicles stopped dead. I could see some sort of jet tumble from the sky and erupt into flames as it hit the ground. Within seconds, a shock-wave ( from what I think was a nuke or some type of huge bomb ) hit our building and we instantly died ( I’m assuming here again ). I then began to have flashbacks, my aunt’s rolling farm on the Fourth of July with beautiful grain fields in the distance and my little cousin running around, then my first kiss, then my history class pledging allegiance, fishing in northern Minnesota, my family at thanksgiving, and finally the raising of the American flag and a crowd of people singing the national anthem. These scenes were beautiful and serene. They made me swell with extreme pride and happiness. As I faded away, I felt so at ease, and at peace with all that I had done. It seemed so perfect, so wonderful.
And that was it. I have to tell you, I never have realistic dreams…EVER. Yet this seemed SO real and so vivid. I seemed coherent and in control, which never happens! I also seemed aware of what was going on, and the emotions that I felt…felt entirely REAL! Please tell me what in the hell is going on!?
Sorry I left this out: as I was looking backon myife, the song old country church (name?) was playing. Sorry for spelling, this was very hurried.
You may find it really is a common answer.
The interruption means there are forces in yur life that mean to make things hard for you so you cannot live a normal life and yuo have to go up against them. your friend is actually a dream of yours that dies, so you let it go properly. The twin Cities are a goal stripped from you but you are fighting to get your dream back, but domeone has decided to take it ALL away, but you do not feel that bad, as at least you made a strong account for yourself
So what’s amiss in your life?
Does your child have private internet access?
The Victims’ Champion called for adults to install monitoring software on computers used by youngsters, and she admitted she checks up on her own children.
"It’s like being stalked," she said. "It’s harassment. As an adult, it’s seen as all those things. But for some reason when we put it with children and put the word bullying to it, it’s something which can be brushed over.
Since the death of her daughter Sarah at the hands of paedophile Roy Whiting in 2000, Mrs Payne has become a prominent campaigner for victims’ rights. Mrs Payne, who took up her Government-appointed post at the end of January, made her comments as she launched Real Radio’s Websafe campaign.
According to a survey by the network of regional stations, a fifth of schoolchildren admit they have given personal information to someone they have never met. The poll of 3,680 children aged 11 to 15 also found 16% had agreed to meet a stranger after chatting on the internet.
The research showed 61% of teenagers could access the internet in their bedrooms, with almost half (45%) of parents never checking on their children’s online activities.
Mrs Payne defended "spying" on children for their own safety.
"I’m not sorry or apologising for being involved in my children’s lives," she said. "You just have to tell them – yes, you can have the internet, but this software will be on there and I will check at some point and if you don’t stick to these rules, the internet goes. You’re the parent, they’re the child and, quite frankly, there’s nothing wrong with that."

Mrs Payne is just right not to be sorry for ‘’spying”
After several incidents in which I found the 11 year old talking to strangers and having a forbidden facebook profile all emails,invitations to message etc are routed through me.
She also knows if my IM pops up while she is on Lexi is the only one she can reply to.
She is also not allowed the laptop in her bedroom anymore.
On a side note isn’t Sara Payne an incredibly brave women?
Most people would go to pieces after losing a child in such an horrendous manner but she has campaigned to save other children
God Bless her
and how do you feel about bastadobbs.com being a huge part of it? Does this mean that Latinos and their supporters are finally being heard?

BastaDobbs.com Announces Victory: Lou Dobbs to Leave CNN
NEW YORK – Responding to the news Wednesday that Lou Dobbs will leave his post as a longtime anchor on CNN, the leaders of BastaDobbs.com – a national Latino-led coalition that had been advocating for his ouster – released the following statement:
“Our contention all along was that Lou Dobbs – who has a long record of spreading lies and conspiracy theories about immigrants and Latinos – does not belong on the ‘Most Trusted Name in News,’” said Roberto Lovato, co-founder of Presente.org, a national online advocacy organization coordinating the BastaDobbs.com campaign in conjunction with more than 40 local and regional Latino organizations from across the country. “We are thrilled that Dobbs no longer has this legitimate platform from which to incite fear and hate.”
The BastaDobbs.com campaign launched in mid-September, and included online petitions, a viral YouTube video, text-message campaign, radio PSAs and a series of events in 18 cities – organized in conjunction with the CNN special Latino in America. The message to CNN was that courting Latino viewers while keeping Dobbs on the network would not win them favor with the fastest-growing demographic in the country. Since then, more than 100,000 people have joined the effort. The events and the campaign garnered significant press coverage in both Spanish-language and mainstream media.

Sea Launch is a spacecraft launch service that uses a mobile sea platform for equatorial launches of commercial payloads on specialized Zenit 3SL rockets. As of January 2007 it had embled and launched 24 rockets with two failures and one partial failure.
The sea-based launch system means the rockets can be fired from the optimum position on Earth’s surface, considerably increasing payload capacity and reducing launch costs compared to land-based systems.
The Sea Launch consortium of four companies from the United States, Russia, Ukraine and Norway, was established in 1995 and their first rocket was launched in March 1999. It is managed by Boeing with participation from the other shareholders.
All commercial payloads have been communications satellites intended for geostationary transfer orbit with such customers as EchoStar, DirecTV, XM Satellite Radio, and PanAmSat.
The launcher and its payload are embled on a purpose-built ship Sea Launch Commander in Long Beach, California. It is then positioned on top of the self-propelled platform Ocean Odyssey and moved to the equatorial Pacific Ocean for launch, with the Sea Launch Commander serving as command center.
