Here are some pictures from the World Hunger Relief Farm in Waco Texas. It is a working farm with lots of interns helping. They have all kinds of things going on there, and they focus on low-tech solutions that work in third-world countries where specialized technicians and fancy parts are not generally available. Simple water pumps, gravity fed showers, that sort of thing.
Here is a list of all the email addresses of the Senators and Representatives of the 83rd session:
I was a fan of the netbooks because they were inexpensive, small, booted quickly (well, before Microsoft got involved that is), and had great battery life. The low-end line of chromebooks
I just installed it in a virtual machine, and I’m impressed with the way it works. Of course it integrates with everything google, just like the android mobile devices. Here is a quick rundown (notes) of how to get Chrome OS (not just Chromium OS) working on a VM:

A recent law prohibits employers from banning guns in locked personal cars in their parking lots.
I heard a well-loved talk show host (I’m looking at you Mark Davis) get this dead wrong this morning, even after speaking to a self-proclaimed ‘expert’. (is your name really Tag, and do you really instruct people on the law? — God help us)
A public or private employer may not prohibit an employee who holds a license to carry a concealed handgun under Subchapter H, Chapter 411, Government Code, who otherwise lawfully possesses a firearm, or who lawfully possesses ammunition from transporting or storing a firearm or ammunition the employee is authorized by law to possess in a locked, privately owned motor vehicle in a parking lot, parking garage, or other parking area the employer provides for employees.
This restriction applies to the Irving ISD also. They can not prohibit employees from having guns in their cars! It is a waste of air to ‘give permission’ to employees because they already have permission. (They had permission before — it is the second amendment — the fact these moronic discussions come up at all is testament to how upside down everything is!)

sidenote:
I recently visited a plant in Dallas that had the “30.06” sign predominately posted on the fence to their parking lot, but not at the entry point to their door. This is pointless. The sign only pertains to conditions in the building, and it is only valid when posted at the entry points of the building. (this wasn’t a public building, making it doubly pointless)
Lots of pictures built up over the past week or so…

Rand Paul filibustering to make the point:
”I will speak until I can no longer speak, I will speak as long as it takes, until the alarm is sounded from coast to coast that our constitution is important, that your right to trial by jury is precious, that no American should be killed on American soil without first being charged with a crime, without first being found to be guilty by a court.”

Rand Paul also said this regarding the drones and assassination of US citizens:
“Bush started this, Obama is expanding this. The irony is that Obama ran as the anti-Bush candidate.”

It’s important not to confuse majority rule with a just, democratic government:
