Why is the shamrock uses as a symbol of that day?

What year did St Patrick die?

What happened to St Patrick when he was a boy?

               As you know, I am not a very political person.  I just wanted to pass along that Senator Obama came to Bagram Afghanistan for about an hour on his visit to “The War Zone.” I wanted to share with you what happened. He got off the plane and got into a bullet proof vehicle, went to the area to meet with the Major General (2 star) who is the commander here at Bagram. As the Soldiers were lined up to shake his hand, he blew them off and didn’t say a word as he went into the conference room to meet the General. As he finished, the vehicles took hom to the Clam Shell (pretty much a big top tent where military personnel can play basketball or work out in with wheights) so he could take his publicity pictures playing basketball. He again shunned the opportunity to talk to the soldiers to thank them for their service. So really he was just here to make a showing for the American’s back home that he is thier candidate for President. I think that if you are going to make and effort to come all the way over here you would thank those that are providing the freedom that they are providing for you. I swear we got more thanks from the NBA Basketball Player or the Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders than form one of the Senatore, who wahnt to be the President of the United States.  I just don’t understand how anyone would want hime to be our Commander-and-chief. It was almost like he was scared to be around those that provide the freedom for him and our great country.

      If this is bound and to the point , I am sorry but I wanted you all to know what kind of caliber of person he really is. What you see in the news is all fake.

                               Hot on the heels of his explanation for why
                               he no longer wears a flag pin,
                               presidential candidate Senator Barack Obama
                               was forced to explain why he doesn’t
                               follow protocol when the National Anthem is
                               played.

                               According to the United States Code, Title
                               36, Chapter 10, Sec. 171, During
                               rendition of the national anthem when the
                               flag is displayed, all present except
                               those in uniform are expected to stand at
                               attention facing the flag with the
                               right hand over the heart.

                               “As I’ve said about the flag pin, I don’t
                               want to be perceived as taking sides,”
                               Obama said. “There are a lot of people in
                               the world to whom the American flag is
                               a symbol of oppression. And the anthem
                               itself conveys a war-like message. You
                               know, the bombs bursting in air and all. It
                               should be swapped for something less
                               parochial and less bellicose. I like the
                               song ‘I’d Like to Teach the World to
                               Sing.’ If that were our anthem, then I might
                               salute it.”

                   WHAAAAAAAT!!!!!!!!!! Yes, ladies and gentlemen, this
                   could possibly be our next president.  I, for once, am
                   speechless .

 Since you folks liked my first set of pictures I thought you might like to see some more of them. These pictures are from actual specimens that I have personally seen and photographed in the last month or so. The picture above is an egg from a tape worm. I call it a Taenia egg. There are some other things that people eat that can look just like these eggs but my job is to tell the eggs from the  “poop chunk’s”. I pointed out 4 lines in the egg that I believe are actually hooks that will develop when the egg hatches. These hook will attach inside the intestine so that the tape worm can hang on for dear life.   Below is a picture from the same sample of another tape worm egg. You can see a yellow sac around it. I don’t often see them this way but this is the form they take while they are still in the tape worm. I would assume that this person still has a live tape worm that is producing eggs…  

I thought you might be interested in what a parasite looks like. In the above picture you  can see two pear shaped light blueish/greenish images. In side of each one you will see what looks like two purple looking eyes staring back at you. This form is actually known as a trophozoites and the eyes are karyosomes. You can see a line running the length of each one plus a tail. The line and tail are usuallly called and axistyle. The are about the size of 2 or 3 red blood cells or about 15 microns in size. When they are around you are very glad you live in america with lots of soft bathroom tissue. Another good reason to wash your hands before you eat. Actually you get it from drinking unprocessed water from the mountains. Now it you think those little filters will keep them  out of your canteen, think twice. The best thing to do is treat a pan full of watter with a couple of drops of chlorox, let it sit for an hour and then filter…

Below is a photo of some red blood cells. Inside of the red blood cells you will see blue rings with one or two little red dots that hold the ring together. This person has Malaria which is actually call Plasmodium falciparum. There are 4 kinds of malaria and they take on about 5-10 different forms. This is what I do for a living..

This looks like Matt in his secret undercover life. I’m not sure who his buddies are. The first time I saw this and just looked at his head and his cute grin I thought it looked just like him.
