I have windows 8 on my laptop and the first thing I did was buy a program start8 to make it look like windows 7. I never use the windows 8 interface. I don't like. I have started experimenting with Linux, but for business and games windows is still king. Also if you have older printers I have...
I read that if you flash the previous radio for Canada which should work in the US as well you should be able to exploit the Canadian "flaw" to get LTE
I couldn't agree more. Masons do not always show their best side in the Shrine. The Shrine was formed for masons to have fun and at a later date the fun loving masons decided to live up to its belief in charity and form a network of hospitals to help children. Everyone needs to remember that...
The Shrine does not have the power to make a Grand Lodge accept members. The condition of membership in the Shrine is to be a mason. It doesn't say from any particular place. Maybe it is time the Grand Lodges sat down and straightened this out once and for all. Technically the rules of Shrine...
We talk about the Shrine as if it is already a separate organization, which it is, to a point. However, the people who made the rules the Shrine follows ARE MASONS. I think that the Shrine in the end will have no choice but to expel those members unless they are part of a lodge in another...

I agree, but in this case which Grand Lodge prevails? The Grand Lodge in Arkansas or the Grand Lodge in Iowa which never expelled him to this date or ever brought a Masonic charge against him? Who really erred here? Was The previous potentate in Arkansas a Master Mason, YES....in Iowa despite...
The potentate in question according to my understanding was a Mason in Good Standing in two states - Arkansas and Iowa. Therefore the man in question could have remained a Shriner, but to help rectify the condition took a demit from the Shrine. Still not good enough for the Grand Lodge. In the...
The potentate in question at the heart of the matter did indeed take a demit several months ago from the Shrine in an effort to pacify the situation. The Grand Lodge could not take over Shrine activities and if you think that I must say you are discrediting the work involved in running the...
The expelled Masons are standing their ground. They are standing for what they believe. The expelled masons in this case are caught in a political storm where they are stuck with having to make a choice. Help Children via Shriners or stand with the Grand Lodge which appears, (in my opinion) to...
