Sexually Suggestive Sermons From Michigan Pastor Leave Some Hot and Bothered

" A Lutheran pastor in suburban Detroit looking for creative ways to discuss sex with his congregants has some people hot and bothered with his most recent tactic.

Epic Church Pastor Tim Kade, 40, kicked off the first Sunday in Lent with a sermon entitled, “The Greatest Sex You’ll Ever Have.”

He plans to focus on sex — topics such as frustrations couples face in their relationships and how to talk to kids about sex — every Sunday through April 1 at his Rochester Hills, Mich., church. Some sermon titles include: "The Bedroom: Battleground or Playground” and “Porn: What's the Big Deal?”

"Sex wasn't invented in a dark alley behind a porn shop," Kade said in a statement dated Feb. 20. "It's part of God's design and the Bible is very open and frank about sexual matters. No matter what your situation may be, we are looking to give straight answers and practical advice that can be used in our everyday lives."

The church looks to tackle issues that couples and families find difficult to address."

I want one

I know many of my friends with Motorcycles are cringing at the thought, but I want one.

What one is is the Can-Am Spyder trike by Bombardier Recreational Products.

"Our Can-Am Spyder roadster is the next dimension in open-road riding," said Jose Boisjoli, president and CEO, BRP.

Describing the three-wheeler as part motorcycle and part convertible sports car, the Spyder's chassis consists of a center steel beam that Can-Am dubs "Surrounding Spar Technology," and the company claims that it has nominal weld points for greater structural integrity. Its 106-horsepower powerplant is a Rotax 990cc V-Twin liquid-cooled mill with double overhead cams. The five-speed tranny can be ordered with optional push-button shifting, and it includes a reverse gear to give the trike better maneuverability. At a claimed dry weight of 697 lbs, this will come in handy when backing out of parking spaces.

Bosch provides the Spyder's safety features that include an anti-lock braking system, a traction-control system and a stability-control system. Can-Am alleges the trike's low center of gravity enhances stability and handling. The comfort features listed by Can-Am include dynamic power steering, a digitally encoded security system, and front storage capacity of 2,685 cubic-inches.

At $14,999, the Spyder's price tag is more than a factory sportbike but less than a luxo-tourer. Color options are yellow and silver. BRP marketing plans include releasing the bike in 12 U.S. states and four Canadian provinces this fall, then extending its sales overseas to include Spain and France in 2008."

Ministry of Defense.......

.....Torchwood Institute on line two......

Could we have hitched a ride on UFOs?

"But a set of newly released internal Ministry of Defence documents gives a fascinating insight into the military's interest in UFOs. They tell the story of the MoD's decision to investigate the threat they might pose and whether alien military technology could be used in the defence of the realm. They also reveal the conflicting attitudes within Whitehall to the subject and the lengths that officials went to in order to keep the project secret."

Question....

Does anyone know if Sizzler and Souplantation / Sweet Tomatoes use sufates on their produce to keep it fresh??

The reason I'm asking is that it seems that anymore, when I eat at a salad bar, I get VERY ill and bathroom-bound anywhere from 4-6 hours afterwards. I'm allergic to sulfates in wine, (they cause shortness of breath when I drink it), but I'm wondering if there may be a sulfate compound on the salads as well.
