Crap. I accidently clicked "ignore" on an invitation from someone in Google reader, but I actually wanted to follow. How do I fix it so I can follow that person??

follow me and I'll ignore you, then I'll try to figure it out..
- Wallace
you can get that person to add you again, or you can search for them by name or add them by email address.
- Jenna Bilotta
you can also look at the list of your followers, find that person and follow them back. you can get to your list of followers from the "sharing settings" page.

I didn't get a chance to ignore you, so I'll unfollow and see...

"Yesterday, the Senate Judiciary Committee held a hearing to discuss the reauthorization of the USA Patriot Act. Committee member Sen. Al Franken (D-MN) used his question-and-answer period to investigate the provision that authorizes “roving wiretaps,” expressing concern that the law does not require federal authorities to identify the target with specificity before proceeding with surveillance. Franken then read the Fourth Amendment to one of the panelists, Assistant Attorney General David Kris, emphasizing that, “no Warrants shall issue but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.” “That’s pretty explicit language,” noted Franken, asking Kris how the “roving wiretap” provision meets that constitutional requirement."

Fuel Efficient Sports Car from BMW - http://reflectionof.me/fuel-ef...
Wallace, FFTornado and Garin Kilpatrick liked this
August 31, 2009 Fuel Efficient Sports Car from BMW Vision EfficientDynamics concept sports car from BMW combines superb driving performance with extremely low fuel consumption. The power and performance are made possible by combining a fuel-efficient 3-cylinder turbodiesel with one electric motor on each axle. The special arrangement of the two motors and diesel engine allows all-wheel drive when driving in all-electric mode. The result is minimum power loss and a harmonious transmission of the power available under all conditions.

when I first talked to the rabbi about converting, I asked him if I had to believe in G-d, and I was prepared to say that it was something I couldn't do if my conversion would make me a hypocrite. But he said that if I came to him and said I *knew* G-d existed, he would no more advice me to convert than he would if I came to him and said I knew G-d *didn't* exist. [felt the need to omit the "o" in this comment, out of respect for my rabbi, and Jews, and my conversion.]

Mark, do you listen to the Catholic Insider or Daily Breakfast podcasts?

edythe: that's interesting, and different from the starting position one's supposed to have before formally converting to Christianity. joey: I don't have the patience to listen to podcasts.

Whoa Mark, that's interesting, indeed! Good luck in your spiritual journeys. They will be interesting, I can vouch for that. And for your blog, maybe you could touch on "intelligent design" principles. And a good site is 'Reasons to Believe'. I think it's http://www.reasons.org (forgive me if that URL is wrong.

"Earlier this week, the Wall Street Journal reported that AHIP — the multimillion dollar lobbying juggernaut for the health insurance industry — has mobilized 50,000 employees to lobby Congress to defeat the public option. ThinkProgress has learned that AHIP’s grassroots lobbying is being managed by the corporate consulting firm Democracy Data & Communications. DDC has made a name for itself as one of the most effective stealth lobbying firms. Earlier this summer, DDC was caught by reporters using a front group called “Citizens for a Safe Alexandria” to attack the Obama administration for seeking to prosecute Guantanamo Bay prisoners in Alexandria, VA."
