Astro turf MUGA synthetic all weather turf and 3G / 4G artificial grass are all purpose surfaces that are very common in the UK and these can be built, designed and specified to be almost any area dimension and specification. When these pitches become tired and start to get flooded and waterlogged, they are in need of rejuvenation, renovation and upgrading and there are a number of different avenues that this can be achieved. An ATP or STP can become poor draining, have flooding on the surface and have poor seams due to compaction and contamination within the pile which makes the system lose its porosity.
Over time the joints or seams of the synthetic pitch can become weak and need renovation and upgrading, this can be done by a simple joint procedure. Other problem on the surface is the build up of mud, moss and algal squidge from falling debris and grime on the surface. Algal squidge and moss can cause the system to lose its porosity and will cause the kickabout court to poorly drain. There are a few things that we can do when we renovate and rejuvenate the sports pitch and bring back the good playing qualities of the facility. The extraction and removal of the silica sand is a vital part of this maintenance as this will allow the carpet to be free of the contaminated material and will allow the carpet to drain water more efficiently. The new silica sand or rubber can then be installed to complete the renovation and upgrade.
Astro turf MUGA sports pitches are suitable for multi sports like football, futsall, rugby and netball and this is why it is vital that the area is sufficiently maintained as it is heavily used. Other maintenance requirements for sand filled astro turf MUGA pitches can include game line repairs, patch repairs, and complete new surfacing. We are prime sport surfacing contractors and have helped to construct and maintain many of these facilities. We also do not have any minimum or maximum requirements for our maintenance and construction projects.
Astro turf MUGA pitches have been designed and built to sizes like 39m x 19m to 102m x 62m and we would be delighted to be able to help you with your maintenance needs.

The ASL restroom has been enhanced with short facts on sustainability topics. Facts are selected and posted by graduate assistant Arul Tippabattuni. These facts will be replaced each week through the semester. If you have facts you'd like to include comment here or send to firstname.lastname@example.com. Please indicate the source of the fact! Facts up week of April 27, 2009: Americans are producing more and more waste with each passing year. In 1960, the average American threw away 2.7 pounds of trash a day. Today, the average American throws away 4.5 pounds of trash every day! What are we going to do with all that trash? http://recycleraccoon.files.wordpress.com/2009/03/landfill.jpg Solution for all the trash we produce is to burn it. It takes one ton (2,000 pounds) of garbage to equal the heat energy in 500 pounds of coal. Today, there are 90 waste-to-energy plants in the United States. Plus, there are another old-style solid waste incinerators that simply burn trash to get rid of it. They do not use the heat energy to make steam or electricity. Today, the U.S. burns only 14 percent of its solid waste. http://www.eia.doe.gov/kids/energyfacts/saving/recycling/solidwaste/wastetoenergy.html The major advantage of burning waste is that it reduces the amount of garbage we bury in landfills.  http://www.eia.doe.gov/kids/energyfacts/saving/recycling/solidwaste/wastetoenergy.html Facts up the week of April 20, 2009: How many light bulbs does it take to save $10 billion? a. one b. one in each home c. 25 million d. 10 billion The answer is b. Nearly 20 percent of our home's electricity use goes to lighting. Choosing energy-efficient lighting is an easy way to start using energy wisely. Switch out a single light bulb or fixture in your home to a light that's earned the government's ENERGY STAR for energy efficiency. Most electricity in the United States is generated by burning fossil fuels such as coal or oil, which release greenhouse gases into our air. So, when you use less energy, you help prevent global climate change by reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Source: http://www.epa.gov/epahome/enviroq/index.htm ENERGY STAR qualified bulbs use about 75 percent less energy than standard incandescent bulbs and last up to 10 times longer. Source: http://www.energystar.gov/index.cfm?c=cfls.pr_cfls Facts up the week of April 13, 2009:  1. The term "heat island" describes built up areas that are hotter than nearby rural areas. The annual mean air temperature of a city with 1 million people or more can be 1.8-5.4°F (1-3°C) warmer than its surroundings. In the evening, the difference can be as high as 22°F (12°C). Heat islands can affect communities by increasing summertime peak energy demand, air conditioning costs, air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions, heat-related illness and mortality, and water quality.

Did you know that: 1. An aluminium can that is not recycled, will still be an alumnium can 500 years from now! 2. If we recycled all our newspaper, we could save 250,000,000 trees per year!! SO IT'S DEFINITELY WORTH IT, GET OUT THERE AND RECYCLE!!
Nice share! Each one of us impact our environment every day with our every action. So be wise in using water and energy to help lessen the environmental impact and start doing your part for sustainability no matter how small it may seem. Emergency Air Conditioning Repair

Top 10 Worst NFL Quarterbacks of 2014These are the worst quarterbacks in the NFL right now.
The Top Ten
The backup quarterback got more yards in one game then all of his games put together
Good In College But Horrible Pro And He Also Went To Rehab
He sucks straight out he wasn't good in college either
Some say Sanchez never left. Others claim he's the ghost of Rick Mirer. All agree he's the worst QB who ever misread coverage or forgot about the weak side rush. A true legend. Jets can never win more thaan 6 games with Geno under center no matter how good their D line is. He is a walking dead end for the entire franchise.
Now this guy is bad
He's pretty bad he has M. Floyd 2 throw it 2 and L. fitz and he can't even get it to them
Sanchez is the worst quarterback I can think of. New York made the right move by getting rid of him, now Philadelphia has to deal with him
I have no clue why he is in here. The eagles are hot right now with him. - Sabbath
I do feel bad for him about the butt fumble, but he is absolutely awful.
He fumbled off his line mans butt. He's worse than Carson.1 Comment
He is a pro bowler this year that is stupid that they put him here
Just. Terrible. You have A.J. Green and Jermaine Gresham. They are called targets. Use them.
He's the worst even more than jhonny jam boggy
Either this guy is blind in one eye, or absolutely incapable to start in the NFL.
He should have stayed in the collage in still he is so terrible
Set world record for being terrible
Worst ever always gets sacked
I think he pretty good just think what he did in chigago
I don't see how in the right mind the Dolphins would sign him. Also, he has bad acne.
You left a team to be a backup and be replaced by someone even worse? Get out of here
Isn't he retired? He suck bad
The Contenders
Throws way too many picks. How old is he, like 50.
I thought that he would be a prospect. Shame on you to wear number 3. You are an insult to Russell Wilson
Thank god he went to Dallas now the browns have a chance
Absolutely terrible. He has Larry Fitzgerald and doesn't even use him.
I don't understand how he can be so awful
He's underrated, but still terrible. Not that he's the worst or anything.
Tartarus Jackson is possibly the BEST back up QB in the NFL, he is fairly as a starter AND he can even run it. He shouldn't be on this list. And this list should only have guys who started at least 1 full game...
You lack the ability to throw. Y you No.

Erewash Borough Council operate the Food Standards Agency's national food hygiene rating scheme (FHRS) for food premises across the Borough. The scheme is designed to help consumers choose where to eat out or shop for food. It does this by giving information about the hygiene standards in food outlets at the time they are inspected to check compliance with legal requirements.
This is a national scheme so you can check the rating of all the places you visit at the Food Standards Agency website.
How are food hygiene ratings calculated?
The food hygiene rating is based on the risk rating and reflects the inspection findings. At a food safety inspection, an officer will check how well the food business is meeting the law.
Three areas are assessed, these are:
how hygienically the food is handled – how it is prepared, cooked, cooled, stored, and what measures are taken to prevent food being contaminated with bacteria. This is the level of (current) compliance with food hygiene and safety procedures (including food handling practices and procedures, and temperature control);
the condition of the structure of the premises including cleanliness, layout, lighting, ventilation, equipment and other facilities. This is level of (current) compliance with structural requirements;
The management and recording of what is done to make sure food is safe using a system like Safer food, better business (SFBB). This is called confidence in management/control procedures.
A score for each individual area and then the total score is given. Officers use Chapter 5 of the Food Law Code of Practice to determine a risk rating and then determine which of the 6 food hygiene ratings applies. Typically, the higher the score in each of the above categories, the lower the food hygiene rating.
|Total Annex 5 scores
|0 - 15
|25 - 30
|35 - 40
|45 - 50
|Additional scoring factor
|No individual score greater than 5
|No individual score greater than 10
|No individual score greater than 10
|No individual score greater than 15
|No individual score greater than 20
|Food hygiene rating
|Very good
|Generally satisfactory
|Improvement necessary
|Major improvement necessary
|Urgent improvement necessary
The rating given depends on how well the business does overall – the total score. It also depends on the area(s) that need improving the most - the business may do better in some areas and less well in others. To get the top rating, you must score no more than 5 in each of the three areas. All businesses should be able to get the top rating. A new rating is given as at each planned inspection.
How can a business improve its food hygiene rating?
To get the best possible rating a food business can:
Look at the last food hygiene inspection report to check that all the actions needed to meet legal requirements have been undertaken.
At the next inspection, if the top rating is not given ask about the improvements needed to get a better rating.
Make sure that staff to comply fully with all aspects of food hygiene law at all times.
How is a food business notified of its food hygiene rating?
The Council works to the Food Standards Agency 'Brand Standard' for operating the scheme. As part of this standard the Council aim to notify the business of their food hygiene rating in writing within 14 days of the date of the inspection. This notification will include an inspection report and a FHRS sticker showing the hygiene rating awarded.
If no appeal is made against the hygiene rating, the rating will appear on the Food Hygiene Rating Scheme website after 3 weeks of the date of the letter. The business should only display the sticker issued by the council of the current rating.
Right to Reply
A FBOs also has a 'right to reply'. This enables the FBO to give an explanation of subsequent actions that have been taken to rectify non-compliances, or mitigation for the circumstances at the time of the inspection that may have led to a low food hygiene rating. The 'right to reply' is not to complain about or criticise an inspecting officer. A 'right to reply' must be submitted using a 'right to reply' form issued by the Food Standards Agency.
Requesting a Re-score visit
An establishment with a rating of '5' does not need a re-inspection as this is the highest rating possible.
If you are rated 4,3,2,1,or 0 and have made improvements to your business, you can pay for a visit to be carried out before your next planned inspection. These non-statutory rescoring visits:-
• are subject to a charge of £175 which must be paid before a visit is made .
• will be unannounced and carried out within 12 weeks of receipt/ or clearance of payment.
You can request and pay for as many visits as necessary but your re-rating will only be successful if you have taken action to make improvements to your business. Areas for improvement are detailed in the last report of inspection or letter. You can contact the officer to seek further information or clarification by telephone. It is important to note that this new rating could go down if improvements have not been made or if other contraventions are noted at the time of the visit.
To request a visit you will need to:-
- Complete and submit a food hygiene rating revisit request form available from environmental health or on the FSA website at this link re-inspection form
- Make a payment of £175 either by contacting Environmental Health on 0115 907 2244 ext.3820 and advising that you wish to make a payment for a food hygiene rating scheme revisit or send a cheque payable to 'Erewash Borough Council' with your completed form.
If you withdraw the application before a visit is made a minimum charge of £20 applies to cover administration costs. No refund will be given once a visit has been made.
Before making an appeal, business owners or managers should contact the council's food safety officer first to understand why the rating was given. If the business owner or manager still thinks that the rating is unfair or wrong, they can appeal in writing to the council. Details on how to do this are included in the notification of rating letter sent to the business. If an appeal is still necessary this must be made in writing within 21 days of being notified of the food hygiene rating score for their business.

Cleaning your font cache.
Another maintenance post. Another issue that can show itself in a few ways.
- If you are unable to get Illustrator to boot and see that Illustrator is crashing as it shows "loading fonts".
- If your font list becomes filled with font names that look like they are combinations of other font names.
- Other weirdness with the behavior of your fonts.
The font caches are temp files that both your computer and Illustrator cooks up to keep track of what fonts are active and where they are located. There is no danger in deleting them, they will be recreated the next time you restart Illustrator in the case of the application level caches or by the finder in the case of the system level caches. Office also creates its own, which behave the same way, but, well, for Office.
You can do this a few ways, but the easiest is to use the free app FontNuke on the Mac or CCleaner on Windows.
The functionality is also built into FontExplorer which used to be free, but now costs about as much as its competitors.
You could also do it manually, but why, when there are all the free apps to do it for you safer and easier?
To do it manually:
If you insist…
On the Mac.
Shut down all Adobe apps and do a search for "AdobeFnt" There ought to be a bunch of them, most with a 2 digit number (eg.: "AdobeFnt56") after them. Any of them that have the .lst extension can be safely deleted. Do not delete AdobeFnt.db or FontNames.db!! Those are not caches.
That takes care of the Adobe caches – now onto the OSX caches – and there's a few of them.
OSX 10.4 and later has the capability built in to clear them itself – Just restart holding the shift key to boot into "safe mode" which will also clear out all your caches. After that, restart as usual and you should be back in business.
If that fails or you really want to do it yourself, here's the list of OSX's font caches:
- com.apple.ATS.System.fcache
- com.apple.ATSServer.FODB_System
- /Library/Caches/com.apple.ATS
- /Library/Caches/com.apple.ATS/501/Classic.fcache
- /Library/Caches/com.apple.ATS/501/Local.fcache
- /Library/Caches/com.apple.ATS/501/System.fcache
- /Library/Caches/com.apple.ATS/501/FondResourceCache
- /Library/Preferences folder: com.apple.ATS.plist
- /System/Library/Caches/com.apple.ATS.System.fcache
- /System/Library/Caches/fontTablesAnnex
Any time you delete the system caches, you must restart your computer.
On Windows
The Adobe caches are located at C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\TypeSpt and delete any AdobeFnt*.lst files. Do not delete AdobeFnt.db or FontNames.db!! Those are not caches. As with the Mac, make sure that no Adobe apps are running when you delete them.
The Windows caches are
Windows NT, 2000, XP and Vista C:\WINDOWS\system32\FNTCACHE.DAT
Windows 95, 98, and Me (you pour soul) C:\WINDOWS\ttfCache
Yeap, one file. Restart if you delete it.
Don't go yet!
If after trying all of these options it's still failing, let me know below in the comments (I really do read them) or try the links to the right. And if it does work for you, let me know and don't forget to check out the rest of the site.

Today was a very productive day. I love days like today!
Today was a very productive day. I love days like today!
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the bird pillow. It's perfect!
I don't see any blocks I would re-do in the "Tuesday" pillow. But I would just say pay attention to the final layout grid in the magazine. They have the cool colors making a cross, and the warm colors making a cross at the top and the bottom of the pillow. That helps kind of pull it all together. See if you think that helps? It's going to be amazing!
The pillows look great! As you know, I am OCD about straight lines and I think these look totally fine. None look weird so you don't need to redo any. Can't wait to see the finished product!
You've been busy. I love how the pillow turned out with those flowers, so creative. I'm always looking for new flower ideas and you just gave me two tutorials. THANK YOU!! I wouldn't redo any of the blocks either. I'm sure it's a little intimidating working with all of those colors and deciding what to put where. But it looks great!! Makes me want to make one even more. I don't think I've accumulated enough good fabric yet though.
Thanks ladies for your compliments and advice!
Annee, thanks for reminding me to review the instructions! I followed the layout grid before I sewed squares together. I'm crossing my fingers my Tuesday pillow will be done tomorrow!

In November 2001 the Lilly Endowment, Inc. awarded Augsburg University a $2 million grant to expand the University's commitment to connecting faith and learning. As a result, Augsburg developed and implemented Exploring Our Gifts. After four years of successful programming, the Lilly Endowment awarded Augsburg a generous sustainability grant, matched by the University, to help support the project for an additional three years.
Exploring Our Gifts focused on helping students, faculty, and staff discern their vocations in service to God and the world. The results have been universally transformative, with hundreds of students, faculty, and staff benefiting from a wide range of new programs, individual and community experiences, and academic opportunities.
Augsburg University is committed to continuing this important work beyond the life of the Lilly grant. To this end, the University has created the Christensen Center for Vocation (CCV) to embody and build upon the convictions at the heart of Augsburg's educational mission:
…called to educate students to think critically, serve faithfully, lead effectively and live responsibly in the world
Who was Bernhard M. Christensen?
Bernhard M. Christensen (1901-84) was the eighth president of Augsburg University, serving from 1938 to 1962. He was born in Wisconsin, the son of Danish immigrant parents. He graduated from Augsburg University in 1922 and Augsburg Seminary in 1925. Following his seminary work (though he was never ordained), Christensen did further study at Princeton Seminary, the University of Berlin and the University of Goettingen in Germany. In 1935 he married Gracia Gunderson of Brooklyn, New York. They had five children and she would eventually teach English at Augsburg.
Christensen was a gifted leader who led Augsburg through a time of significant change. He was also a theologian who sought to avoid both a reactive fundamentalism and a theological liberalism that was cut loose from the tradition. Christensen was ecumenical in outlook while being deeply rooted in his own heritage. Above all, he hoped "…the church of Luther—glorying in 'the freedom of the Christian man' and made strong through faith in a living Christ—may yet speak the deciding word."[1]
[1] As quoted in James Hamre, "Bernhard M. Christensen (1901-84)," Lutheran Quarterly, 19 (Winter 2005) 424-25.

Sometimes I hate myself.
Nothing drastic,
Or overpowering like a rushing river.
That would be a relief, if
My hate were some savage tsunami
I could accept the crashing
but my hate is the drip drip drip torture.
If my hate were a volcanic explosion
Spewing hot lava and ash
upon the skies of my life
Then maybe I would understand
This darkness.
But my hate is a tepid teabag
from fate or just my failure.
If my hate were a shattering spasm of
the earth shaking and quaking
I could cower in appropriate fear
My shaking shoulders and shaky heart
Merely symptoms of the hate
I hate myself sometimes
A weak shadow hate that hides
In the sun of her gaze or his words
But unlike a tsunami or volcano
Or even the quaking earth
Which are tragic, overwhelming events
That destroy foundations and lives
The shadow simply is.
Sometimes weaker, sometimes strong
But always there.

When we talk about PII, we often refer to data including names, social security numbers, dates of birth, email addresses, physical addresses, etc. However, even seemingly innocuous data can be valuable in the wrong hands.
British Airways recently experienced a data breach into their loyalty program. While the information exposed was not directly lucrative, like a credit card or social security number, hackers know many people use the same login credentials across other online mediums. This information has been described as a "golden ticket" to get into other more valuable accounts.
And the power of data doesn't stop there. According to the US General Accounting Office, 87% of the US population can be uniquely identified using only gender, date of birth and zip code. In an age where data can reveal and compromise so much, cyber security is paramount.
So how can businesses safeguard their customer's private information? An increasingly popular and effective solution is tokenization. Tokenization works by replacing a sensitive data value with a surrogate value, or token, ensuring sensitive data is no longer present but rather is represented by the token. The actual encrypted data is stored in a secure data vault, reducing the organization's liability of protecting the information and the risk associated with doing so.
XiSecure® for Sensitive Data utilizes Paymetric's XiFlex™ format-preserving tokenization technology, giving organizations the adaptability needed to protect multiple types of sensitive information. XiSecure maintains the original length and format of the data so organizations can leverage Paymetric's tokenization technology to protect any type of sensitive information that resides within their enterprise. The original data is stored in Paymetric's off-site, highly secure data vault.
Now your organization can employ a tokenization strategy with no impact to existing IT infrastructure and no added costs for modifications. Learn more about Paymetric's proprietary solution here.

onday March 30, 2009 (1124 PST)
It is now getting clear as to why FATA has been declared most dangerous place on earth. After making series of allegations that FATA is the main breeding ground where militants and suicide bombers are trained for launching into Afghanistan; where the entire senior leadership of Al-Qaeda and Taliban is housed; and from where possible attack on US homeland would take off, so far not a single training camp has been located in FATA, nor any high-profile militant leader nabbed or killed. This is in spite of continuous hovering of spy planes and next door US-NATO troops equipped with latest state-of-the-art surveillance and detection gadgets breathing over Pakistan's neck, and RAW-CIA-Mossad agents having infiltrated into FATA in big numbers. If CIA controlled drones can hit suspected houses, madrassas and Hujras based on intelligence, why have they been unable to detect so-called training sites and the top wanted leaders? Why have the drones not taken a pot shot at Baitullah Mehsud or Maulana Fazlullah if the US considers Pakistani Taliban a threat?
The fact is that whatever has been said about FATA is pack of white lies uttered with sinister designs. All sorts of harrowing stories were cooked up to justify drone attacks as well as ground raids in Pakistan's northwestern tribal belt. Blatant lies are similar to the WMD falsehood to justify invasion of Iraq. Why not Afghanistan, Iraq, Somalia, Sudan or for that matter India which has become the hub-centre of extremism and terrorism been added to the list of most dangerous places?
Other than the militants, which the US is keen to eliminate, Pakistan army and the ISI also continue to remain in CIA's firing line. CIA is deliberately leaking out stories in US leading newspapers while CNN, Fox News drum beats scandalous news on electronic media to malign the two institutions. The allegations made against the two institutions range from collaboration with the Taliban and playing a double game. The themes played are: One, the army is either incapable of dealing with militants or is soft towards them; Two, the army has surrendered FATA and Swat to the Taliban; Three, the army uses the Taliban as a weapon to regain strategic depth in Afghanistan; Four, the army is not under civil government control; Five, the ISI trains, equips and launches militants into Pakistan to hit Afghan-Nato targets.
In order to nullify the negative impact of deadly drone attacks which have killed mostly innocent men, women and children, USA has launched a bizarre campaign in its bid to convince Pakistanis and the world that drones are flown from air bases in Baluchistan and not from Afghanistan. Earlier on it was stated that there was a tacit understanding between Gen Musharraf and USA and that Zardari on his visit to Washington had given his blessing to continue drone attacks. It was also said that missile attacks were conducted without informing Pakistan because of strong suspicion that the army and the ISI forewarned the Taliban about the intended attack.
David E Sanger and Ron Suskind, both from USA have belatedly come up with news that Gen Musharraf had played a double game. In his book 'Inheritance', Sanger claims that he learnt about the ISI and Pakistani Generals protecting the Taliban by listening to the highly classified tapes in which telephonic conversations of top Pakistani Generals with the then ISI chief were recorded. Who will buy this crap for everyone knows that Generals use highly secured communication system which cannot be breached. More so, why the hell they should be discussing Taliban over phones? Diane Feinstein, chairperson of US Senate Committee on Intelligence came out with a startling disclosure that US drones were operating form certain ISI bases within Pakistan and that USAF and US army had nothing to do with it. The ISI was deliberately added to generate feelings of hatred against it. Who doesn't know that the ISI do not control any bases and that drones are flown from Bagram air base in Afghanistan? It is also a known fact that Shamsi and Dalbaldin air bases are utilized by CIA and FBI for covert operations in Baluchistan and Iran.
The CIA and ISI have always enjoyed cordial relations. The Afghan war against the Soviets brought the two very close to each other. This closeness got reinvigorated when Pakistan volunteered to become the frontline state against war on terror. The two sailed along smoothly till as late as 2007 after which there was a sudden shift in CIA's attitude. This change in attitude occurred after ISI learnt about CIA playing a double game in FATA and Baluchistan by providing all out assistance to RAW to destabilize the marked regions. When ISI became cautious and started to take protective measures, it irked CIA and started to distance itself. CIA's relations with Pak army and the ISI became strained when the army-ISI outspread details of drug trade in Afghanistan in which CIA, RAW and Mossad were deeply involved. This disclosure with proofs was made when the USA had begun to tantalize Pak army and blamed it for its woes in Afghanistan. Pakistan argued that one of the principle reasons for USA not being able to control militancy in Afghanistan was the unchecked drug trade which was also a source of income for the militants to fund their militancy. It transpired that CIA assisted by India was sponsoring multi-billon dollar Afghan drug trade. The duo banks on $3 trillion worth of drug money each year, generated through heroin production and its subsequent sale across the world. Drug money is used by CIA for carrying out covert operations in the world. RAW utilizes drug money for running tens of training camps, for recruiting and equipping agents and suicide bombers and funding dissident elements within Pakistan.
Exposure of this racket angered CIA and relations of the two soured. Matters worsened when the Indian defence attaché serving in Indian Embassy in Kabul got killed on 7 July 2008 suicide bombing. He was a lynchpin arranging drug deals and hence very dear to the CIA. RAW convinced CIA that the attack had been perpetrated by ISI. It infuriated CIA so intensely that it vowed to teach ISI a lesson. We remember how Deputy Director CIA and Adm. Mullen came fuming to Pakistan and expressed their deepest concern. Ever since, CIA is not missing any opportunity to fire salvos to defame and axe this premier organization which provides first line of defence to Pakistan. Otherwise too, both CIA and RAW consider the army and ISI as the only bottlenecks which are blocking their route to denuclearize Pakistan. Among the many conditions attached to Benazir return to Pakistan was to turn the army into a counter terrorism force and to bring the ISI and the nuclear program under civilian control. A serious attempt was made in August last year when the ISI had nearly been placed under Ministry of Interior. CIA was part of the gory drama of Mumbai in which the army and ISI in particular were blamed. The CIA not only exercises control over US media and think tanks which it uses for propaganda purposes and for forming perceptions, it has also cultivated intellectuals, writers, journalists, English newspapers and TV channels in Pakistan and uses Pakistani brigade to supplement its propaganda warfare. Among the latter category some are based in foreign countries but subscribe their articles in Pakistan's leading English newspapers. Of late this brigade has become very active and is parroting dictated themes with greatest vigor.
There is no denying the fact that the CIA used drug money to finance war against the Soviets in the 1980s. Earlier on it had also used drug money in Nicaragua in 1979-80 to finance Contras. By the close of Afghan war in 1989, Afghanistan was the second biggest opium producing country in the world. It was almost cleansed of the curse of drugs by the Taliban during their rule from 1996 to 2001. It has now been converted into the largest heroin producing state in the world. Hamid Karzai brother Izzatullah Wasifi is the biggest heroin producer and there are dozens of heroin factories established across the country and run by Wasifi and other Afghan warlords. Ahmad Wali Karzai in Kandahar handles all exports of heroin to Europe through Turkmenistan.
The 7 July attack on Indian Embassy had been masterminded by Wasifi once he learnt that the Indian officer was betraying him to US Drug Enforcement Agency. It is surprising that neither CIA has ever recommended to US government to launch a crackdown on heroin factories that finance militants and warlords nor the US military command or NATO command in Kabul have raised this issue. It seems as if all are party to the drug game. Without Pentagon and CIA blessing it is not possible to export thousands of tons of heroin. Reportedly, even US military cargo planes are in use to shift heroin and on occasions coffin boxes were used. Possibility of NATO countries and Afghan army and police indulging in this lucrative business cannot be ruled out. It is to be seen whether the hard taskmaster Holbrook would be able sort this critical matter without which any amount of troop surge will not produce any tangible results.

From the back cover:
"Nowhere to go. Nothing to do. The routine of class and endless stupidity in a provincial town is taking a toll on middle schooler Takao Kasuga. Though he gets along well enough with his peers, they'll never begin to dig any of that reading business that's his only true escape. What can he expect when he's in love with foreign stuff like the poems of Charles Baudelaire?
Yet, his life threatens to take a turn for the worse when he finds and takes home, in a moment of weakness, the gym clothes of pretty, sweet, and smart Nanako Saeki on whom he has a major crush. Witness to the theft is the oddest girl in class, who seems to consider the whole world a pile of excrement and to nurse a terribly sadistic streak...."

These are official headphones, that come in a range of five colors, including blue, yellow, red, green and black.

You gotta hand it to Gear4, since to date they have been coming out with high quality, official Angry Birds merch including speakers, and iPhone and iPad cases. That said, we can't imagine that these headphones will sound very good. But with a name like Tweeters, how could any Angry Birds fan resist?

Ron JagerRon Jager made Aliyah in 1980 from New York, served for 25 years in the IDF as a Mental Health Field Officer in operational units and then as Commander of the Central Psychiatric Clinic for Reserve Solders at Tel-Hashomer. Since retiring he has been involved in strategic consultancy to NGOs and communities in the Gaza envelope.
Obama's support of the Islamic Brotherhood in Egypt during the "Arab Spring" has created a majority for Islamic organizations in the Egyptian Parliament.
Obama has created a Middle Eastern political environment that has taken Egypt's recent modernization back 1000 years.
This is typical of Obama's foreign policy "accomplishments", which have literally destroyed - with Obama's own bare hands - the Middle East as we know it.
This past week, the Islamist-dominated parliament in Egypt prepared to introduce a law allowing husbands to have a sexual encounter with their dead wives up to six hours after death. I kid you not.
Islamic culture and Sharia Islamic Law condones necrophilia, which is defined as relations with a dead body.
Last year, during the early stages of the Arab Spring, which bears no resemblance to a spring season associated with blossoming and renewal, but rather to a coil that having been pressed down further and further is about to explode - well, anyway, at the early stage of this "Arab Spring", Imam Abdelbari Zemanmi, a famous and respected Imam in Morocco, issued a fatwa in May of 2011, stating the following; "Since a good Muslim couple will meet again in Heaven, and since death does not alter the marital contract, it is not a hindrance to the husband's desire to have relations [sic] with the corpse of his (freshly) deceased wife." He has also stated that "marriage remains valid even after death".
Egyptian Islamic parties have taken this fatwa seriously and have recently submitted the above-mentioned law.
This law is just one of a number of recent laws that are being legislated in the Egyptian Parliament that are not simply anti-women, but clearly violate basic human rights of women.
Proposed laws that will lower the age of marriage of women to 14, and limit women's rights in the fields of education and employment are only the tip of the iceberg.
The ever increasing tendency of Islamic societies to disregard how Islamic culture is perceived by Western societies has become rampant during the Obama Presidency, because the Islamic forces know that the national media in the United States and Europe voluntarily refrain from reporting and ignore anything that contradicts the politically correct depiction of Islamic societies. This is done so as not to hinder Obama's re-election.
By not reporting or giving necessary coverage and exposure to these primitive and barbaric practices by Islamic societies - who consider necrophilia as culturally intrinsic - Americans and Europeans are being denied basic information concerning how Islamic societies would operate in Western nations, should they ever have the ability to do so.
As unbelievable as it may seem, necrophilia is being openly legislated and encouraged by legally elected Islamic political parties in Egypt, the largest and most powerful Islamic nation not only in the Middle East, but in the world.
These Islamic political parties are supported by the Obama administration and have been described by the White House and the Department of State as strategic partners of the United States.
The implications for other Islamic nation wannabe's is mind boggling. A culture that sees nothing wrong with necrophilia is a culture that is way beyond the pale and has literally nothing in common with Western culture and modern civilization.
Speaking of a universal morality and of basic human rights is simply irrelevant to a culture that condones and encourages this kind of behavior. These Islamic legislative initiatives reveal to us all how Islam will envision human society in the future if the Islamists get control of a country's political leadership.
Over recent months, much has been printed and debated about the true intensions of the Iranian regime concerning a nuclear arsenal. In light of this aptly named "farewell intercourse" law, what are the real implications for a nation and society based on laws that see nothing wrong with relations with dead bodies - as far as rationality and logical is concerned?
What kind of leverage can be used against leaders of a cultural environment that are capable of pleasure with the corpse of a beloved?. Can we honestly believe that these Islamic political leaders will respect our human rights? Will they hesitate even for a moment to bomb New York, London, and Paris, should they get the capability to do so?
As Obama begins in earnest his bid for re-election, in which he will ask for more time to "get the job done". Let's not forget that the Arab Spring was of Obama's doing; he is responsible for letting the Islamic genie out of the bottle.
Obama cannot blame anyone except himself, even though he will try. Obama is very much the master orchestrator of the Arab Spring, his misguided and inadequate actions have produced a political reality in the Middle East that has made the necrophilia law a reality.
