Crawford, Texas (August 27, 2005)

The population of Camp Casey has doubled in the last 24 hours. From a midweek lull of approx. 150 supporters, folks are now streaming in for the final weekend of activities. In preparation for an expected 1,000+ camp visitors, a great wall of bottled water has been erected under the big tent.

Meanwhile, the “Cindy Doesn’t Speak for Me” tour will be holding a rally in Crawford at the high school football field – home of the Crawford Pirates. Cindy has repeatedly noted that she has never claimed to speak for anyone but herself. However, through Cindy’s determined action, thousands have come to Crawford to be a part of this classic David and Goliath struggle.

Next Wednesday, August 31st -- the last day of the encampment -- the Bring Them Home Now Tour will launch three buses from Crawford, Texas. Each bus will carry military and Gold Star families, veterans of the Iraq War and veterans of previous wars. These buses will travel different routes across the country, converging in Washington, D.C. on September 21st, for the September 24th-26th anti-war mobilizations.

Folks are working a campaign to encourage churches across the country to ring their bells for peace once a day until the war in over.

One example of the outpouring of support, the new Not in Our Name Statement of Conscience was published in the Waco Tribune – the paper most read in the Crawford area.

"As George W. Bush bullies his way through his second term, let it not be said that people in the United States silently acquiesced in the face of this shameful coronation of war, greed, and intolerance. He does not speak for us. He does not represent us. He does not act in our name."

by Watch Live Soccer (hello)
Nowadays, due to the improvements of technology and the development of the Internet everyone can watch live football from a comfortable seat at home, and all this without paying expensive cable or satellite fees.

Now you can watch premiership games, champions league soccer, cup matches live, al broadcasted on the Internet, sometimes free and sometimes after paying a small fee. You can enjoy many quality football matches easier then ever. And don't think that you have to buy some extra hardware or anything because all you need is an Internet connection, but it has to be a broadband connection if you want the live football stream to have a high quality.

How can you do this? Almost every soccer match that is taking place somewhere in the world is broadcasted through a live football stream that you can access from anywhere and furthermore most of the matches come with an English commentary.

If your Internet connection's speed is high enough then the live transmission of the game will be uniinterupted, but this and the quality depends on how busy the server is.

There are many websites that are broadcasting live soccer streams and most of these provide high-quality streams and they have more links to choose from because only one would make the line too busy.

You also need a player that supports live streaming ( http://www.footy-live.com ) if you wish to watch live football games. The most common players are RealPlayer, MediaPlayer and WinAmp. The websites that provide soccer streams have a list with all the games taking place at the moment and all you need to do is click on the game and the player will open and you can watch it. As simple as that!

So whenever there's a major football event you know that it's certainly broadcasted somewhere on the Internet and you can watch everything and you only pay a few dollars!
