Disposable Email Address.
The Site is called 2Prong. I tired it and it worked great. as long as I had the tab open in my browser it worked like a charm when I closed the tab the email address was gone forever and so is the possibility that the NYTimes or any other site that requires registration can give out my personal email address to third parties who will in turn fill my mailbox with all of their advertisements and spam.
So check out Webware at the link above then go to 2Prong.com and give it a try.

The Real Glenn Ford Story
This article was written by NewsMax.com columnist and contributor Phil Brennan, a proud Marine.
When Glenn Ford died Thursday morning at the age of 90, major media recalled his long Hollywood career, recalling the 106 films in which he appeared, his many marriages and romances. Wrote the Associated Press, "He was a star to the end of his career."
Glenn Ford was far more than that, yet none of the obituaries bothered to mention his extraordinary patriotism or his distinguished military career. Ford rose to the rank of Captain in the United States Navy after years of dedicated service that began with World War II and continued through the Vietnam War.
He was undoubtedly a star, one of Hollywood's enduring major stars, but as his biography on a Web site devoted to his long life states, his accomplishments were even larger than life off-screen. As his son Peter once told NewsMax.com, Ford was "one of those Ronald Reagan, true-blue American types."
At the beginning of World War II Glenn served in the Coast Guard Auxiliary. In 1942 he enlisted in the United States Marine Corps. As a Marine he helped build safe houses in occupied France for those hiding from the Nazis and was among the first Americans to enter the infamous Dachau concentration camp at war’s end. He went on to serve in the Navy and at war's end he was commissioned a Commander in the Naval Reserves.
Committed to service in the armed forces, Ford also served two tours of duty in Vietnam with the Third Marine Amphibious Force in 1966-1968. He once went on a jungle mission with a Special Forces Team during the Vietnam War. Ford was the only actor to have served with both the Green Berets and the French Foreign Legion and his military record is well recognized in both the United States and France as a highly decorated veteran.
Among his numerous medals and commendations are the Medal of Honor presented by the Veterans of Foreign Wars; the Medaille de la France Libre for the liberation of France; two commendation medals from the U.S. Navy; and the Vietnamese Legion of Merit. He received the rank of Captain with the U.S. Naval Reserves in 1968; retiring in 1977.
Ford bravely served his country in two wars (not on the sidelines, but in the front lines) facing enemy fire on many occasions and never expecting to be treated like a Hollywood star but as a fellow fighting man. He was indeed a hero both on and off the screen.
That's the way Glenn Ford would want to be remembered.
Two years ago he told NewsMax.com, "Let's never forget that to remain free we must always be strong. That's an important lesson I learned in my Navy career in World War II. National defense must be the top priority for our country. If you are strong, you are safe. Now is the time for every American to be proud. This is the land of the free and the home of the brave. If we are not brave, we will not be free."
Glenn Ford lived the motto of the Marine Corps, Semper Fidelis -He was always faithful to the nation he served so long and so well.
Semper Fi, Glenn

SPACE.com -- Mars Ski Report: Snow is Hard, Dense and Disappearing
More on the Global Warming Crisis on MARS! ! ! !. Can't blame man for this one. Well unless those little solar powered rovers we sent there are causing that. Wait a minute, solar powered vehicles don't put out greenhouse gasses so how can this global warming be possible on Mars? No evil oil or car companies to blame maybe it's mother nature. Maybe that's whats going on here on earth as well. Something to think about isn't it?

Kent school Bible club dispute becomes a federal case
Court cases like this drive me crazy. I can't be a member of the Lettermen's club in school if I don't have a letter in some type of sport. I can't be part of the band if I don't play an instrument. So why in the world is it a problem if a group of Christians want to form a club to study and hang out together and they only want other Christians in the group? If you want to study together do you want Muslims, Jews, Wicca and others to join and bring their particular faith into the group? No offense meant to those faiths but they are not going to want to study the Bible. There is no reaso they couldn't start their own club in the school. If you had a Rod and Gun club would you want PETA members to join you? Probably not. Why because you'd spend all your time arguing instead of enjoying your favorite passtime. In the case of these girls they want to associate with other Christians and Study with them they don't want to spend their entire meeting arguing whether the Bible or the Koran or the Tora or whatever is the true word of God and trust me that's what their meetings would end up being. So my hat is off to the ADF for taking on the case.

SPACE.com -- Mars Emerging from Ice Age, Data Suggest
Global warming without man and his horrible automobiles, How can this be? The same thing is happening on Jupiter as well the storms are getting stronger, the temperature is going up. Is it just me or do you thing that maybe it's something OTHER than man that is causing the "global warming" here on Earth? I'm sure somehow the green group and tree huggers will find someway to blame man for the global warming on the other planets. They just haven't figured out how to blame man or George Bush for global warming on the other planets.
I was going through my old photo's and found these from Good Friday 1974 in the Philippines. The paddle is used to break the skin so the penetents can use a flail to whip themselves to demonstrate their repentence for their sins. The man in the white pants was taken a short time after the picture was taken to the hospital. The cuts apparently went too deep into his back or he has a clotting disorder. That last picture is of a man who promised God if his mother got better from a serious illness that he would allow himself to be crucified every good firday for 13 years. I met his mother, she got better and he is honoring his promise. The nails actually go through his hands and the ropes on his arms prevent them from tearing out of his hands. At this time he had done this for 7 years. There was an article in National Geographic with some very good pictures of this event that were taken the same day. This event and these proceedings are not recognized by the Catholic church but that doesn't seem to matter to literally thousands in the Philippines that participate in these type activities all over the country. Most however do not go as far as having themselves nailed to the cross.

Townhall.com :: Columns :: Sue the bastards -- I mean the mothers by Kathleen Parker - Jun 21, 2006
Isn't it amazing what lengths anti-smoking nazi's will go to? Hey if your a mom to be and you want to kill your baby by having an abortion that's ok, it's your right but if your a mom to be and you smoke which may or may not cause your baby to have a low brith weight that should be against the law. Is it just me or does this seem just a little hypocritical. It's ok to abort your baby and terminate your pregnancy but not to smoke while your pregnant. Where are the pro-choice folks on this one?
