Whether your hair is naturally curly or straight, long or short, we've put together this guide to show you how to get curly hair in a few different ways. From curling it with a curling iron, using straighteners to curl it or if you want to add curl without using heat, we've got every base covered. Read on...
How to curl your hair with curling tongs
There are many different types of hair tongs available. For smaller curls and short hair, choose a wand that's one inch wide or less. Bigger, bouncier curls can be created with a wand wider than an inch. No matter what size you choose, the way you use curling irons is basically the same. Here's how…
1. Make sure your hair is dry, then brush through it to remove any knots and tangles.
2. Separate your hair into three large sections, starting at the bottom and working upwards, and using a large clip or hair bobble to keep it in place.
3. Brush through the bottom section again, then pick up a layer of hair from the left or right side. The layer shouldn't be more than an inch wide. Any wider and the heat from the wand won't be as effective and the curls won't be as good.
4. Wrap the section of hair around the barrel of the curling tong, starting at the base and working up towards the end. Curl your hair away from your face, so you don't risk burning it. Hold the hair in place for no more than about 10 seconds (less if you want looser curls).
5. Let the curl cool – if you want tight curls, use a hair grip to hold it in place while you go round the rest of your head, or you can leave it loose for a more relaxed vibe.
6. Repeat steps four and five until you've curled each section of hair. Depending on the look you're going for, you can then gently brush the curls out, run your fingers through them to separate them slightly, or simply leave them and mist with hairspray to set in place.
How to curl straight and curly hair without using heat
It is possible to get non-frizzy, defined curls without using heat. There are a couple of techniques, the first one works on hair that has a natural curl or wave and is done using a technique called 'plopping' - a term that comes from the idea that you 'plop' wet hair onto a long-sleeved cotton T-shirt, wrap it up and then let it dry. Here's how to do it…
1. After you've washed your hair, apply your usual products formulated for curly hair.
2. Lay your T-shirt out on a flat surface, flip your head over and lower your hair down on to the T-shirt, making sure it's gathered in the centre.
3. Roll the bottom of the T-shirt towards the nape of your neck and secure it in a knot.
4. Bring the top of the T-shirt over the rest of your hair, wrapping the sleeves around your head to secure in place.
5. Once your hair is dry, unwrap the T-shirt to reveal perfect curls.
How to curl hair with straighteners
Thought your hair straighteners were just for straightening? Well, you thought wrong! Our step-by-step tutorial shows you how easy it is to use them to create beautiful, bouncy curls on long or short hair…
1. Your hair should be completely dry when you start because curls won't last if it's damp. Spritz with heat-protection spray, which protects hair from the heat, and also reduces frizz and adds shine.
2. Separate hair into a top and bottom section, to make curling more manageable, especially if you have very long or thick hair. Get the top section out of the way by tying it into a bun on top of your head.
3. Take a one-inch section of hair and spritz with hairspray to help give your curl added hold.
4. Using thin, flat straighteners, clamp down on the section of hair fairly close to the scalp. Turn the straighteners back on themselves by 180 degrees, and then gently and slowly run them down the section of hair until you reach the end. The more slowly you move the straighteners, the tighter the curl will be (for a loose wave, move quite quickly).
5. Repeat until you have curled the whole bottom section of hair and then do the same with the top. When working with the sections near your hairline, curl outwards so that the curls frame your face.
6. Finish with a misting of hairspray to set in place. Use your fingers to lift sections gently as you go, so that the spray reaches all the hair, as well as breaking up the curls for a more natural finish.
The second technique is great for people who have straight hair. Having straight hair doesn't mean that you can't have curly hair without using heat - it's simply a case of investing in some foam rollers. You can get small foam rollers, which create smaller, tighter curls, while larger rollers will give bigger, bouncier curls. They're both used in the same way, here's how:
1. After washing and drying your hair, comb it through properly so it's nice and smooth with no tangles or knots in it.
2. Part your hair in two down the middle, and then taking a small section from one side of your head, carefully roll it up and around one of your rollers, and pin it in place. Different rollers will have different methods of pinning, so follow the instructions for the ones that you have.
3. Repeat step two, rolling hair up into rollers and securing in place, until all of your hair is secured in rollers.
4. Leave the rollers in place for at least four hours. It's best to use them at night so you leave them in while you're sleeping.
5. Remove the rollers to reveal beautiful curls that should last all day. You can spritz with hairspray to help them hold their shape.

N.C. police uncover 5,000 pot plants
By Martha Quillin
The News & Observer
BROADWAY, N.C. — Since a drug-spotting plane from the state Highway Patrol found 35,000 marijuana plants growing in the Harnett County woods last month, Sheriff Larry Rollins has been wondering: How much more is out there?
At least another 5,000 plants, it turned out, found by a commercial pilot Rollins hired to fly over the county in search of the clandestine crop. The pilot found the operation in a remote, heavily forested area near the community of Broadway. Investigators raided the site Monday after watching it for a week.

Jim Rohn Quotes: Sowing and Reaping Story
Here is a summary of this Jim Rohn Quotes video and a comment.
The story of Sowing and Reaping is also the story of the Law of Averages.
The sower was ambitious and had excellent seed.
The first part of the seed falls by the wayside and the birds get it. Metaphorically, this is the prospect that doesn't show up for the meeting.
You could talk to the person who talked your prospect out of going to the meeting. However, you would have to leave the "field" and this would be a distraction.
It's just one of those things. The best comment is "Isn't that interesting?"
The sower kept on sowing. That was the secret of his success.
If you keep sowing, you can sow more than the birds can get. There aren't that many birds.
The Law of Averages will work for you.
Jim's mentor taught Jim there are only nine or ten really nasty people in the world. However, they move around a lot!
The seed falls on rocky ground where the soil is shallow. This is not of your making.
The seed starts to grow. However, it withers and dies on the first hot day.
The hot weather is going to get some. This is not of your making.
Say "Isn't that interesting?"
What can you do? Don't try to change it.
Here's the most important point, an exercise, and an mp3:
The sower kept on sowing. That was the secret of his success.
Suppose you approach your business activity as a sewer of good seed. Suppose you realize that the secret to your success is very simple.
Just keep sowing! No matter what happens, just keep sowing!
The more you continue sowing, the more the Law of Averages works for you. What a concept!
Suppose you have a disappointment. You say "Isn't that interesting?"
And you continue selling. Suppose you have a deal or two that don't quite work out as well as you might have hoped.
However, you say "Isn't that interesting?" and you continue sowing.
Eventually, your mind of success gets the idea. When things don't work out, the appropriate response is "Isn't that interesting?"
The more you respond to disappointments and frustrations with "Isn't that interesting?" the more you maintain a confident state of mind. The more you maintain a confident state of mind, the more you continue sowing.
Can you see that you insure your success because the Law of Averages will be working for you? Just sow on a continuous basis.
This will be the secret of your success. You may not be the most persuasive, the most skilled, or the most talented.
However, you might be among the most persistent and the most consistent. In other words, you cultivate a positive mental attitude and a state of mind that makes the Law of Averages work in your favor.
And people wonder how you did it.
Isn't that interesting?
Here is the exercise and mp3:
Practice "Isn't that interesting?"
"Isn't that interesting?" may seem like an unlikely success question. However, it points to a powerful attitude of success.
Imagine a seeker of success who suffers a string of setbacks. Such a person might respond with self-talk like "I will never get this right" or "well, I've never done much up to this point anyway" or "I guess this means I just don't have what it takes."
However, imagine the confidence of a seeker of success will suffer as a long string of setbacks and offers this response "Isn't that interesting?"
Imagine the poise, the composure, and the long-range view of the future that belies the response "Isn't that interesting?" this is a seeker of success who does not get rattled, discouraged, or distracted when things go wrong it as they inevitably will.
So call to mind an imaginary string of setbacks relating to your business activity. And if they have yet to happen, they will.
This might mean:
- You go a week, maybe two, and you don't recruit anyone.
- You offer an e-book or a course for sale and hardly get a sale despite having a list that is usually responsive.
- You talk to 12 motivated sellers in a row and don't acquire a house.
Or it might mean something else that relates to your business activity. In your mind's eye, practice seeing one of these scenarios and responding with "Isn't that interesting?"
Here is a note. So long as you do not invest powerful emotions such as frustration, disappointment, and self-doubt, you don't need to worry that you are visualizing something that will come to pass.
Arguably, they are going to come to pass anyway! At least, something like them will come to pass.
You can't make a big success about having lots and lots and lots of small defeats, frustrations, and disappointments. This exercise helps you practice a constructive response to the inevitability of failure.
Consider this. How much easier is it to learn from setbacks when your response is "Isn't that interesting?" Without negative emotions to get in the way, you will earn twice as much in half the time.
So practice "Isn't that interesting?" in the face of imaginary adversity. Real-time adversity will indeed be interesting because you will learn so much from it.
And here's something else that's interesting. Metaphorically, you are the captain of your own ship.
Why? You can set your own sail.
In this recording (12:57), I present three reasons why "Isn't that interesting?" sparks success. It does so even if you don't think you are smart, lucky, or even good! For some, this might be very welcome news indeed! And if you interpret an unsuccessful success attempt to mean "I have to work harder!" you might be relieved to know that "Isn't that interesting?" means something much less stressful and much more success-generating.

The Politics Hour – June 23, 2017
D.C. Police Chief Peter Newsham discusses the ACLU lawsuit against MPD officers for their actions during Inauguration Day protests. And Democratic candidate for Maryland Governor Alec Ross is in studio.
Pope Benedict stunned the world when he stepped down earlier this year. His successor, Pope Francis, has been shaking things up ever since. The first Jesuit to head the Vatican, Francis is renewing the Church's focus on poverty and putting a new face forward. We find out more about the history of the Jesuits, the Holy See and consider the influence Francis is having on policy around the world, including the United States.
MR. KOJO NNAMDIFrom WAMU 88.5 at American University in Washington, welcome to "The Kojo Nnamdi Show," connecting your neighborhood with the world. Later in the broadcast, we remember local broadcaster and long time quiz master of "It's Academic," Mac McGarry. But first, we consider the Pope, a man associated with many firsts. The first to take control of the Vatican while his predecessor was still living in 600 years. First from the Americas and the Jesuit order. And the first Pope in recent memory to eschew many of the ornate trappings of life at the Vatican.
MR. KOJO NNAMDIThat last is especially important as he decries the idolatry of money, making clear his intention to focus much of his time, effort and attention on global challenges related to poverty and income inequality. Some see this as a shift in direction for the Catholic Church while others say he's doing what the Vatican has been and should be doing all along.
MR. KOJO NNAMDIHere to help us better understand the man, his mission and the influence it may have here and abroad is Father Peter Folan. He is a Jesuit Priest who serves as an Associate Pastor at Holy Trinity Catholic Church here in Washington, D.C. He also contributes to America Magazine and the Jesuit Post, a blog by young Jesuits. Father Peter Folan, thank you for joining us.
FR. PETER FOLAN SJKojo, good afternoon. Thank you for having me.
NNAMDIAlso in studio is John Carr. He directs the initiative on Catholic Social Thought and Public Life at Georgetown University. He is Washington Correspondent for America Magazine. John Carr previously served as Director of the Department of Justice, Peace and Human Development for the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops. John Carr, thank you for joining us.
MR. JOHN CARRGlad to be with you.
NNAMDIJoining us by phone from Naples, Florida is Francis Rooney. He is former US Ambassador to the Holy See and author of "The Global Vatican: An Inside Look at the Catholic Church, World Politics and the Extraordinary Relationship Between the United States and the Holy See." He's also the CEO of Rooney Holdings. Ambassador Rooney, thank you for joining us.
AMB. FRANCIS ROONEYWell, thank you very much for having me on.
NNAMDIIf you'd like to join the conversation, if you have questions or comments on this issue, give us a call at 800-433-8850. You can send email to email@example.com. You can shoot us a tweet @kojoshow. What do you make of the Pope's approach to poverty and income inequality, and how do you think it will embraced or rejected by policy makers here in the US? 800-433-8850. Father Folan, I'll start with you. Pope Francis is the first Pope to ever come to this position from the Jesuit order. What's different about the Jesuits and how does the Pope, in a way, personify the Jesuit mission?
SJI think that's a great question, and when I see the life of Pope Francis, just in these first nine months, I feel like I'm looking at a brother Jesuit. I guess there's a number of things I could mention. The one that really strikes me is this interior freedom that the Pope has to be himself. I would look at it as seeing his election, not so, I wasn't in the conclave, but I'd see his election, not so much as saying to Jorge Mario Bergolio, we need you to become the Pope.
SJAs opposed to saying, when we think who we want the Pope to be, what does the face of the Pope look like? It looked like that face, and that's one of the titles that we give for him. He's the vicar of Christ. So, I think that's what the Cardinals saw in him, and I think in these nine months, the world has seen somebody who's being himself.
NNAMDIJohn Carr, some say the Pope is rebranding the Church. Others say there's no real concrete change taking place, and it's his personality that people are noticing. What's your impression of Pope Francis thus far?
CARRWell, literally, from the first moment of his election, he made this concern for the poor and the vulnerable the centerpiece of his papacy. He tells the story on how as the votes were mounting up, his friend next to him gave him a hug and said, don't forget about the poor. And the Pope said, that's when I decided. I'll be Francis, the Saint of the Poor. So, it's not different. It was Pope Benedict who said three things make the Church the Church. Proclaiming the Gospel, celebrating the sacraments and standing with and caring for the poor.
CARRThis is as old as the prophets and as clear as Matthew 25. But Pope Francis brings a passion to this, an urgency to this. Frankly, a bluntness to this. And I think it's because of who he is and where he comes from. Globalization and economics looks different from the slums of Argentina than it does from Germany or Poland, which is where our previous Holy Fathers came from.
NNAMDIWhat do you say to cynics, some of them maybe in the news media, who say, this looked, at least at first, like a Vatican P.R. campaign?
CARRThe first thing I would say is name the last successful Vatican P.R. campaign. I think it was pre-crusades. This is a man without an entourage who is himself, as Father said. He has a sense of freedom, so if you read this document, if you listen to him, this is his voice. This is not some handler of any kind. He is a nightmare for handlers and for security because of his passion for the poor.
CARRBecause he says what he thinks. How great is it to have a Pope who says what we don't need are sourpusses. What we don't need are Christians who are all Lent and no Easter. And talk about the joy of the Gospel. I don't know if that's rebranding or not, but it sure is a breath of fresh air.
NNAMDIAmbassador Rooney, the Vatican has long been a place of visual splendor with many trappings of wealth that the current Pope is eschewing and cracking down on some Bishops for abusing in a widely circulated story. What's your impression on what's happened so far, and what might soon?
ROONEYWell, related to that, as Dr. Carr said, about the new breadth that the Pope brings to the message of the poor and social mission of the Church, it's fantastic to have a Pope from the New World who can look at the Curia and the historic governance architecture of the church from a fresh perspective.
ROONEYAnd he's turned his sights on the Vatican Bank. He's turned his sights on the somewhat arcane governance structure, the last vestiges of the monarchical structure which has served the Holy See for many years. You know, as Cardinal Wuerl called for, they need more of an executive, Western style management structure to deal with the rapidity at which issues come before them nowadays.
ROONEYSo, I think that's really great. The other thing I think is that his candor and his openness, which I like to think is part Jesuit and part New World, may allow him to broaden and deepen the fundamental diplomatic message of the Holy See in a way that Pope Benedict's scholarly, philosophical orientation was more difficult for so many people to understand.
NNAMDIIn case you're just joining us, the number here is 800-433-8850. If you're Catholic, which of the Pope's actions or exhortations have struck you the most? 800-433-8850, or you can send email to firstname.lastname@example.com. Father Folan, for many Catholics, social justice and poverty initiatives are a, if not the, central tenant of the faith. Can you give us a sense of where the church's missions related to poverty fit into the larger theological picture?
FOLANYeah, I think it would always be a mistake to look at that as just one portion of what we do, as in, we have the social justice thing, we have the liturgy thing, we have the scripture. And these are separate silos, as it were. And where do we rank them on our list? I think any real serious attempt at social justice has to have a liturgical element to it. Has to bring in the word of God to it. Has to have a prayerful element to it.
FOLANAnd so, I think seeing all of these things together, as I look at the Pope's life these months, he's weaving them into a whole. And I think certainly, the great deal of attention has been paid to so much of what he's been doing for social justice. And I think that's well done. But I don't think, in his mind, or in his actions, it's ever at the expense of the other dimensions of the Christian life.
NNAMDIFrom outside, a lot is being made of Pope Francis and how he has or might transform the Church. How does it feel from the inside?
FOLANWell, it's exciting. It's an exciting time to be Catholic, I think. For me, it's an exciting time to be a priest. I just got ordained in June, and it's a very exciting time to be a Jesuit. People are talking about the Pope. Before I came here, one of my jobs is to teach sixth graders religion at the Holy Trinity School. I had a class this morning, and I said, well, what should talk about? What's exciting? All these hands went up, which is probably because there was a quiz to come, and they wanted to waste some time.
FOLANBut they all had substantive things to say. And these are all, pretty much, Catholic children, who say it's impressive that the Pope doesn't live in the big house. It's impressive that the Pope wants to forgive people. It's impressive that the Pope kisses children. And I think that this is something that's exciting from the inside, as well. And it feels different, not in a comparative way, to say it's better. It's different, and it's exciting.
NNAMDIJohn Carr, in speaking out against trickle down economics, the Pope provoked accusations of Marxism from some on the right. This weekend, the Pope himself clarified. For those wondering, stating that the Marxist ideology is wrong. Is that perception, which was perpetuated by radio host Rush Limbaugh here in the US, an early folly in an attempt to politicize the Pope's actions?
CARRWell, I don't want to pick a fight with Rush Limbaugh. He's bigger than I am. But, if he thinks Pope Francis is a Marxist, he doesn't know much about Marx. He doesn't know much about Jesus. And he doesn't know anything about Pope Francis. This is a leader, who, as a Jesuit Provincial, spoke out against Marxist elements of -- some elements of Liberation Theology. So having done so, he feels perfectly comfortable talking about the excesses, and in some cases, the structure of unfettered capitalism.
CARRHe looks at everything, including the economy from the bottom up. And that's really different. Those are not the priorities of the Senate Finance Committee. Or the newspapers. Or many of us. So, he speaks and acts like Jesus. That's why he's considered so authentic. I woke up early, when he went to Assisi , and I was hoping to get a great speech about poverty or something on the environment. And I watched, and he walked into a room with 100 very disabled children and adults.
CARRAnd the Pope went from wheelchair to wheelchair, stroking their hands, touching their face, talking to them. They couldn't talk to him. Every single one. And, most times, we know what happens. Somebody walks in, they say hello to a couple people, and they give a speech. And then they leave. This Pope walks and talks like Jesus. And that's why we're paying attention.
NNAMDIWell, I found it fascinating that he said, Marxism is wrong, but I have known many Marxists, and they're very good and fine people. So that he's not attempting to strike any passionate arguments with people who don't necessarily happen to feel the same way that he does.
CARRMark Shields has a wonderful line. He says, you can tell the health of an organization by whether they're looking for converts or heretics. Pope Francis is looking for converts.
FOLANAnd I see the same thing when I hear him make this sort of a comment about Marxism. I see again the SJ that's after his name to indicate that he is a Jesuit. This great Jesuit concept of finding God in all things. In other words, the potential to hear God's voice in all different people, all different situations, is always there, if only we'd pay attention to it. And, in fact, it's often in those places where you would think you would be least likely to find it, that you'll find it in abundance.
NNAMDIIn addition to which, Ambassador Rooney, I see it as a very, well, diplomatic statement.
ROONEYWell, you know, as I understand what's been said, you know, it squares with exactly what Church teaching's been before, the economic theory. You know, going back to Vatican Two and before, that individuals have the right to private property and the fruits of their own labor, which are fundamentally free enterprise concepts, as long as there's fairness and equal opportunity for all. And, you know, the pope comes from an area of the world which is replete with crony capitalism, basically an oligopoly and all kinds of problems with land rights and using the state to manipulate people out of their property.
ROONEYAnd those kind of things undermine any kind of effort for real democracy anyway. So I see what he's trying to -- what he's talking about and the abuses of free enterprise system that need to be corrected offer the surest way to create an economic opportunity which is linked to real human dignity, which is linked to rising people out of poverty and creating the kind of stability for a real democracy in Latin America, as opposed to a pencil whip series of elections.
NNAMDIGot to take a short break. When we come back, we will be continuing this conversation about Pope Francis, the Catholic church, poverty and policy. But if you're interested in joining the conversation and have already called, stay on the line, we will get to your calls. If you'd like to call, the number is 800-433-8850. Why do you think poverty and income inequality are such a divisive policy issue? 800-433-8850. You can also send us a tweet, @kojoshow. I'm Kojo Nnamdi.
NNAMDIWelcome back to our conversation about the Catholic church, poverty and policy in general, and Pope Francis in particular. We're talking with Father Peter Folan. He's a Jesuit priest who serves as an associate pastor at Holy Trinity Catholic Church here in Washington. He also contributes to America magazine and the Jesuit Post, a blog by young Jesuits. John Carr directs the Initiative on Catholic Social Thought and Public Life at Georgetown University and is Washington correspondent for America magazine.
NNAMDIHe previously served as director of the Department of Justice, Peace and Human Development for the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops. And Francis Rooney joins us by phone from Naples, FL. He's former U.S. Ambassador to the Holy See and author of the book, "The Global Vatican: An Inside Look at the Catholic Church, World Politics, and the Extraordinary Relationship between the United States and the Holy See."
NNAMDIHe's also the CEO of Rooney Holdings. We're taking your calls at 800-433-8850. I'll go directly to the phone where Richard in Great Falls, VA awaits us. Richard, you're on the air, go ahead please.
RICHARDThank you, Kojo. Yeah, my question was that back in the spring, I believe, Cardinal Dolan, when he was in Chicago was lauded by the Vatican for diverting, I think, over $50 million in funds to protect them from being awarded to the sexually abused boys. Is this consistent with the pope's policy?
NNAMDIJohn Carr?
CARRWell, no. I think the situation is a lot more complicated than the caller suggests. The question is, what resources of the church are available to pay settlements for the terrible crime and sin and heartrending tragedy of clerical sexual abuse, which has haunted the church for these last decades. The Holy Father has set-up a new commission to try and make sure that the policies, the strictest policies in the world are worldwide.
CARRAnd I think you'll find him very impatient and frankly angry about the misuse of the priesthood and the misuse of money. The Pope is very tough on clericalism. And frankly the worst, worst, worst aspect of clericalism was protecting people who abused their ministry and abused young people.
NNAMDIThank you very much for your call. You, too, can call us at 800-433-8850. Let me go to Howard in Washington, D.C. Howard, you are on the air, go ahead please.
HOWARDThank you very much. I think this is a very important show, because I think the church has something important to say about economic policy and we don't often hear from it, which brings me to my two questions. One is there were actually some encyclicals done on economics by John Paul II and the conference of -- the bishops held conferences and spoke about it. But yet when Pope Benedict XVI issued his encyclical, there was nothing done about it.
HOWARDThere were no conferences. And now I wonder what the conference is going to do with this latest from Pope Francis. And second question I have is that I've looked at statements that have been made by the conference on trade policy. And although it is laudable that they have advocated on behalf the poor around the world, eventually -- you note as the American Conference of Bishops, they don't say anything about American workers. And I'm wondering what they think about that? What do they think about the plight of the American workers that face competition from overseas?
NNAMDIJohn, Fr. Peter, do you know anything about this?
FOLANWell, I worked at the Bishops Conference for a long time and there was a good deal of work done to defend the dignity, work and the rights of workers. Frankly, it was hard to break through in the media. Kojo is doing us all a service by focusing on poverty and economics, instead of sex, which seems to be the obsession not only of the church, as the Pope said, but of the media. But there is a lot of good work that goes on, including focus on trade and its impact on American workers.
FOLANBut it has trouble breaking through. I think we'll see whether this in fact changes the priorities of the conference and whether it changes the way the conference is covered. One of the things that the conference has been a leader on is something called the Circle of Protection, which is a group of Christian leaders that has gone to the president and the Republican leadership and said, in all these budget negotiations and the hard choices, put the poor first. Don't balance the budget on the back of the poor. That doesn't get a lot of attention, but it's made a difference.
NNAMDIAmbassador Rooney, often we see the Vatican through a strictly religious lens. But the Vatican City state, the world's smallest country maintains diplomatic relations with more than 175 others, including the U.S. How is serving as ambassador to the Holy See both different from and similar to being ambassador to, say, France or Nigeria?
ROONEYWell, Kojo, in many ways, it's the same as serving in a secular, bilateral mission because the fundamental duties to which the president assigns an ambassador are to conduct routine diplomatic interchange with the host country on areas of agreement, to leverage areas in agreement or bridge over disagreements, as well as to promote American values.
ROONEYWhich in my case in Rome was an opportunity to speak a lot about our melting pot, our unique tradition of citizenship, which is earned citizenship and about the First Amendment which has a totally different perspective than what the European experience has been. On the other hand, being focused on a few fundamental issues that pertain to human dignity, inalienable rights and, you know, religious freedom and the suffering of the people around the world, the Holy See applies these few issues in every country and every place in the world.
ROONEYSo it's not topically deep but it's broad. And, for example, with the president we've sat down with the secretary of state. We discussed 15 different countries where the United States and the Holy See were actively involved in either working together to promote a shared value or where we have slightly difference of opinion, but by and large a similar objective and hope for outcome.
NNAMDIYou have noted that there was an alignment of values between the Holy See and the George W. Bush administration. As Pope Francis calls for less of a focus on social issues, no changes, but less -- I think his word was obsession. Do you think the political dynamics between the parties will changed, either subtly or substantially?
ROONEYWell, there's no doubt that the social issues have been -- had dominated a lot of the discussion, but they really don't have a lot to do with the diplomatic symmetries and opportunities between the United States and the Holy See, you know. We have ongoing programs in trafficking, to combat trafficking against persons, to deploy the PEPFAR funds in Africa, to combat bad governments like in Zimbabwe or in Venezuela.
ROONEYAnd in those fundamental principles that the Holy See's diplomacy is based on the same ones that the United States was founded on, you know, inalienable rights of men, the concept of the inherent human dignity of each person and religious freedom. So as such, you know, we're natural partners for the Holy See. That's really why I wrote the book, is to try and broaden understanding of why the Holy See is such a valuable asset to the United States diplomatically in trying to promote what should be basically shared foreign policy objectives.
NNAMDIThe book is called, "The Global Vatican." John Carr?
CARRAmbassador Rooney has emphasized the areas of agreement and common ground, in which there are many. It would be important to point out, there have been substantial differences. For example, the Vatican strongly opposed the Iraq War. And sent a cardinal to meet with the president to beg him not to go to war. And sadly, all the things that John Paul predicted have come true, including the terrible situation on the Christian community in Iraq.
CARRI wish that the president and our Congress had listened to the warnings of Pope John Paul II and the Catholic bishops. So there'll be areas of agreement and areas of sharp disagreement. But it's built on the principle that dialogue is a better way of moving forward than isolation.
NNAMDIOn to the telephones again. Here is Rebecca in Columbia, MD. Rebecca, your turn. Hi, Rebecca, are you there? I hear Rebecca, but Rebecca doesn't hear me. Rebecca...
REBECCAHi, I am here. Sorry about that.
NNAMDIGo right ahead.
REBECCAHi, I'm really interested in the show today. I am actually an atheist and just on principle from church's separation standpoint, I very much oppose our diplomatic relations with the Holy See. That said, I have been super impressed with this pope and his dedication to the fundamental teachings of Jesus with regards to poor people and those who've been marginalized. I find him very genuine and I'm really pleased to see it. So I just wanted to share that perspective.
NNAMDIFather Peter Folan, it gets back to what you were talking about earlier.
FOLANYeah, and I'm grateful for that comment. And I think it's an indication of the pope's broad appeal. But I also think it's an indication of the broad appeal of the gospel, that there's no cultural or temporal idiom in which the gospel doesn't make sense. And so the way it takes root and will strike the human heart is one that should be uplifting, one that should be supported. And I think this pope has done a great job of showing that. And people are listening, even Time magazine is listening. They made him person of the year.
NNAMDIJohn, one of the -- oh, please go ahead, Ambassador Rooney.
ROONEYWell, Kojo, I was just going to say if I might answer Rebecca really quick.
ROONEYYou know, you need to read my book, Rebecca. The Holy See's diplomacy is not limited to promoting the interest of Catholics or even Christians. The Holy See is a unique voice in the world as the only sovereign, which doesn't have territory and a political agenda. I'm not talking about theological issues here. That's for Father Peter and John. But they're a unique force for the fundamental principles of humanity, which apply to all humans whether you're Muslim, Christian, atheist, Jew, anything at all. And I would hope that you would be able to separate out the important work the Holy See can do to make the world a better place from...
NNAMDIIndeed, if I may interrupt, Ambassador Rooney, there have been examples of the Vatican exerting its influence in ways that have shaped major global conflicts. John Carr just referred to Iraq. But you note that one of the Holy See's greatest contributions on the world diplomatic stage is one of soft power. Where do we see that influence?
ROONEYWell, you know, we saw the soft power influence of Pope John XXIII with Norman Cousins at the time of the Cuban missile crisis. We certainly saw it from Pope John Paul II in Nicaragua and in Poland. We saw it in a somewhat misunderstood way with Pope Benedict at Regensburg, which I simply call all the perspective on that has yet to be obtained.
ROONEYAnd, you know, we saw here just last couple of weeks ago with Pope Francis' diplomatic note on Syria, which I really wished the United States would pick up some of the concepts in there and support the opportunity to use the soft power force of persuasion of the Holy See to seek a broader concept of citizenship in the Middle East as we work through this current round of problems in Syria.
NNAMDIFather Peter Folan.
FOLANI want to pick up on what the ambassador said, I think that's great. And I was thinking of the Syria example when the Pope asked for a day of fasting and of prayer for that situation to try to resolve it by peaceful means, by diplomatic means. And it's not a magic trick, it's not that if we all fast enough and pray enough that we convince God to really do something. But eyes are opened, ears are opened.
FOLANJohn Kerry makes an off-handed comment, well, what would it have to take for there not to be military action? Well then there's action after that, there's a response to that and we're in a position now where military action, at least it's not been something that has taken place.
NNAMDIOn to the telephones again. Moez (sp?) in Hyattsville, MD. Moez, your turn.
MOEZHey, thank you, Kojo, for taking my call. I just want to say, I mean, I want to make a comment. By the way, I'm a Muslim here and I'm really -- I'm so happy about the pope talking about poverty now because the conservative movement in this country uses religion a lot of times for social issue. And now when somebody talk about the economic side and all worries against them and they call him now, the pope is a Marxist.
MOEZAnd I will tell him to embrace himself for more (unintelligible) from the right wing of our conservative movement here because they don't want the issue of religion to be talk about -- I mean, the religion to be talked -- you don't need to talk about economic. But for social things, yeah, they are all, all right. All religions, oh, we are against abortion, against, you know, gay. But when it comes about poverty and Jesus Christ is, we Muslim believe in all prophet. And we believe in Jesus Christ and we know what he did for helping the poor. And I really hope the pope keep going with this dialogue. Thank you.
NNAMDIMoez, thank you very much for you call. John Carr, despite our strong separation of church and state, Catholic church does have influence in the U.S. at various times on varying issues. Each major party has embraced or rejected it's mantel. Do you think we'll see shifts in how politicians here in the U.S. interact with the church now?
CARRIt'll be interesting to see. One of the things that impresses me is it's very difficult to put Pope Francis in the categories of American politics. He stands up for the weak and the vulnerable, whether it's the unborn child, whether it's the hungry child, whether it's the undocumented family. So it doesn't fit the categories of right and left. In some ways what he's doing is taking on the individualism which is dominating our politics.
CARROn the left, it's sort of lifestyle individualism, which makes choice the ultimate criteria of all of life. And on the right, it's sort of market individualism, economic individualism, which makes the market the measure of all life. And what the pope is saying is it's not just our choice, it's not just the market, it's how the weak are fairing. Every religion suggests that you measure the morality of a society by how the weakest are fairing. And if that's the question, we're failing the test.
NNAMDIWell, income inequality and poverty are global issues. But U.S. culture in particular has become somewhat fixated both on capitalism and consumerism. Is there a way for policy or our elected leaders to affect change on that front, perhaps taking a cue from the pope?
CARRWell, I was really struck by the silence on poverty for years, frankly. The president...
NNAMDIOne of the initiatives you're working on is breaking the silence and poverty...
CARRWell, exactly. And it was amazing to me that shortly after the Holy Father's exhortation, the president himself quoted the pope and was talking about income inequality and poverty. In that exhortation, he says we need politicians who feel the pain of the poor and who work to get beyond the welfare mentality to offer work, education and health care. If you were to name the issues in Washington that get the least attention right now, I think poverty, environment and peace would be three of them.
CARRAnd if you think about a pope named Francis, his priorities are poverty, environment and peace. So he doesn't fit, but the signs are encouraging. I think it is long past time that we have a real discussion of how we lift up the poor. We can have a vigorous debate about how to do that and there'll be differences, but we have to end the silence and we have to break the stalemate. Where some folks talk only about family life and other folks talk only about economic life, when we all know, if you're poor, or if you work with the poor, it's both. And it's a national scandal that we tolerate this kind of poverty in a rich nation like ours.
NNAMDIFather Folan, you serve as associate pastor at Holy Trinity Church here in Washington, D.C. Holy Trinity has a long history here in Washington. It's ministered to many in power, most famously, President John Kennedy. I wonder if that proximity to political power influences your thought process in preparing a homily for Sunday Mass.
COREYI think to some extent that it might, but I don't know how greatly it does. I'm new at all of this so I don't have too much to compare it to, but I'm -- when I'm preparing a homily for instance or even in any sort of a conversation, I don't -- I'm not looking up what's in somebody's bank account or who's going to be there or what job that person has, ask him for a business card, but I'm trying to think how does the gospel make sense in this context. And it would be foolish to ignore the fact that there are lots of folks at Holy Trinity who work for the government, who do all sorts of terrific things in Washington, D.C. and beyond.
FOLANBut I also think that there's always that tension. You don't want to tailor a gospel too much to somebody because there's blind spots that can be there. But at the same time, you don't want to not take into account at all the people with whom you're speaking or else it risks falling on deaf ears.
NNAMDIOnto Tesfa, in Arlington, Va. Tesfa, you're on the air. Go ahead, please.
TESFAGood afternoon.
NNAMDIGood afternoon.
TESFAMarxism is about conflict, about class war and many stop fight because charity is about love, consideration and reconciliation. And confusing Christianity with Marxism is very unconstructive. Here is an example. Why the Pope is so popular is the individual Christian member. He's very solidly for doing something about the poor. In Ethiopia and Arch Bishop, Abune zena Merkorios, a few years ago died and nobody knew. He was so passionately followed and he cared about the poor. Look, if we want to be constructive, we need to do something about the poor.
TESFAReligious institutions have to do a whole lot more. And the right wing, Rush Limbaugh and the rest, should stop this destructive policy and do something better. I don't think (unintelligible) them to do anything better. Anything for the poor to them is sin.
NNAMDITesfa speaks very passionately about an argument that you made earlier, John Carr, saying that people who accuse the Pope of being Marxist don't understand either Marxism or this Pope.
CARRWell, this is at the center of our faith. It's as old as genesis. It's as clear as Jesus teaching on Earth. And it has been what the church has taught for centuries. And what the Holy Father has done is given it new priority, new visibility, and new urgency. And part of that is just because you have to look at the facts. And the economic meltdown brought on by the financial mechanisms failing us, in fundamental ways, the housing market failing us and what happened? The poor became poorer. The rich became richer. And middle class wages have been stagnant.
CARRSo it's not just Argentina that has a problem with economics that divide us in fundamental ways. It's true in this country. So this is not a matter of ideology. This is a matter of reality. And what the Pope is doing is taking traditional Catholic teaching about the priority for the poor and the pursuit of the common good and applying it to the global economy. And it's our task to apply it to our own economy.
NNAMDIAmbassador Rooney, a clarification, please. There has been some recent confusion about the status of the U.S. Embassy to the Holy See recently. It's not being closed, as some reported, but likely co-located with the embassy to Rome. What do you make of the move?
ROONEYWell, the State Department wanted to do that back in 2005 and I managed to stop it. There's been a lot of disinformation about the whole process. You know, some people have tried to turn it into a President Obama versus Catholics issue, which I think is a very poor approach. It's basically an issue of security and an issue of cost. And it's not the greatest building, no doubt about it. It's got a huge picture window open to the Circus Maximus, but on the other hand it's also very difficult to get a vehicle up onto the building grounds, which is one of the very highest risk issues, is a vehicle driving in with a bomb.
ROONEYSo there's pros and cons to the building, but the bottom line is it would be better to find a new building if the State Department doesn't like that one, rather than to co-locate and submerge the mission into the grounds of Embassy Rome. You know in bureaucracy you need to have your own source of identity and position and otherwise you tend to get subsumed into the broader entity that you're part of. And I think it would undermine some of the perceived independence and stature and ability to influence of the Holy See mission.
NNAMDIAnd I'm afraid that's all the time we have. Francis Rooney is former U.S. ambassador to the Holy See and author of the book, "The Global Vatican: An Inside Look at the Catholic Church, World Politics and the Extraordinary Relationship Between the United States and the Holy See." He's also the CEO of Rooney Holdings. John Carr directs the initiative on Catholic Social Thought and Public Life at Georgetown University. He's Washington correspondent for America Magazine. He previously served as director of the Department of Justice, Peace and Human Development for the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops.
NNAMDIAnd Father Peter Folan, is a Jesuit priest who serves as an associate pastor at Holy Trinity Catholic Church here in Washington, D.C. He also contributes to America Magazine and the Jesuit Post, a blog by young Jesuits. Gentlemen, thank you so much for joining us.
CARRThank you.

About MeI reeallly need updated, professional photos!!
I've been singing and performing since I was 16 and I love everything about it. Right now I have very few recent professional level photos, so I am very interested in networking and meeting others here to work with.
I am level headed and maintain a reality check that I am teeny tiny and this is probably not something I could get into full time no matter how bad I want it. Being a mere 5'1" 100lb tiny framed girl isn't exactly screaming "runway model" and I know it hinders opportunities. However, I will never accept someone telling me "I'm too short" because I know how much potential I have. I am very versatile and can pull off a lot of looks. I don't photograph "short" as I am very porportional, so I hope there are some photographers out there who are willing to give me a shot and take a chance on a petite gal.
I am very outgoing, reliable, and fun! I am looking to build and extend a solid portfolio by which I could give due credit :)

An LCD Enclosure For Factory Defense
An LCD enclosure is an important part of any factory floor data collection solution, as these care for the expensive electronic systems from the dirt and grime related with a manufacturing facility.
If you have ever visited a factory, you will know that there is a high amount of dust and grime and this is why the plant information system is protected in a computer enclosure, these offer NEMA4X and NEMA4 protection, with the jump in devices we are seeing huge screens being configured in facilities.
What is an LCD enclosure
An LCD housing is a protective housing that will store a standard lcd monitor, made from steel and waterproof to prevent any fluid ingress damaging the devices inside.
When you seal an casing, problems occur this is why the LCD enclosure has to have some form of internal temperature control so the units are at home in arctic conditions as well as in deserts, preventing any equipment failure.
Numerous manufacturers including Heinz, Delmonte, Northern Foods, Ford Motor Company and Honda to name a few.
As these firms appreciate the data that the computer collection systems generates and with the current world of instantaneous information, customers need to know when their requisition is going to dispatch, using these information systems the client can login and discover accurately where their requisition is in the manufacturing queue..
What is required to fit these protective PC and LCD enclosures?
If there is an existing information network in the manufacturing facility this can be used, if not there is a probability of an expensive wiring deployment, but if you use an existing network the workstation and printer are positioned into their respective housings and the large LCD enclosure for the plasma and LCD televisions are installed to a gantry or to a wall, these are networked to a computer and demonstrate the information for that production line.
Without this defense the hardware would pack up in under a month in the circumstances of a factory or even out-of-doors.
So an out-of-doors solution can incorporate into a manufacturing facility system, by integrating the PC enclosure and the LCD cases for the best in factory information system security.

This sea lion climbed onto the dock just as Ron led us into the harbor.
Yes, it was beautifully timed. We had gone up toward the wildlife sanctuary upstream, and seen nothing. Just as we got back to the rental beach, I had asked if anyone wanted to head down toward the harbor because of the sign saying that you weren't to approach marine mammals, but they might approach you. Most of my family came with me, and just as I pulled around the corner, this huge sea lion sprang out of the water in front of me onto the dock, streaming with water and sunlight.

Kiddie pools n trampolines
I am thinking of buying one for my dogs in the summer when it gets hot out..does anybody use the kiddie pools for their dogs? if so which ones hold up against paws n claws? Also, my dog freely gets on the trampoline and uses it to bounce up and down, i have caught my dogs bouncing together after i have let them out for pees, i am assuming its because they are bored and waiting for their walks, its hilarious..anyone else have dogs that love to bounce?
You've gotta take video of the trampoline thing.
On kiddie pools we use them on puppies with bottles in them and other things that make noise to help train puppies to be less sensitive to strange noises at an early age. We throw kibble in there for them to go find and stuff like that. I use them to help cool the adult dogs down when doing any kind of play outside in the hot summer months. The hard plastic ones seem to hold up great. I can't speak to the soft ones.
My dogs use to love playing on the trampoline. I put a stop to it when Onyx got caught in between the springs and the frame. They loved it though! We use a plastic pool, it's held up for several years. I bought two and keep them together for more strength.
working in an er, i wouldn't let my kids have a trampoline.
nice pics onyx. good looking dogs and family.
Ha ha yeah I got hurt playing on a big trampoline as a kid. Would do it again, but yes it is an injury waiting to happen.
We have a trampoline but the dog never gets on it. Ours has a high safety guard all the way around. We keep it zipped and have a lock on the zip when it is not in use so he does not have free access to it. We have very strict rules- only one kid on at a time and no child who does not live in our home allowed AT ALL. I don't think Mace would follow our rules ;) so I don't encourage his use of the thing.
Would be cute to watch but I'd be scared that they would get hurt.

We live in South Florida and Traveler loves his kiddie pool. Less than $20 at Toys R'Us.
He's not a chewer so it holds up for 2 years in our weather.
Well the trampoline is going to the dump this summer...its been peed on and my SO's son had a flu moment on it, we cleaned it the best we could but its just ready for the dump. Basic plastic kiddie pools at toy r us sound good. I am going to make their sun room into more of a kennel, it already has the sliding glass doors all around it which can be opened in the heat and they can ave total access to the outside with shade and the pool, right now its were they go to lay down but i am storing alot of stuff i dont use aymore in there.

Memories of Bubwith
What A Sight Fore Sore Eyes
I was a farm hand at Whitley Bridge and was for that day a tractor driver. My job was to pull a trailer down a row of rhubarb roots which had been pulled out onto the surface. Mr Huddleston employed girls on his market garden farm - they'd total at least sixty girls & the majority of them were just turned sixteen. ...Read full memory
Bubwith Memory
My parents, Maurice and Jessie Carroll, ran the White Swan pub at Bubwith from about 1962 to about 1966. There used to be a stable block to the right of the picture which they had demolished and an extension to the pub (just visible in the photo) was built.
Living In Bubwith 1966 1970
During the late 1960s I lived in the large house on the left of the main street in this picture. The shop just before it on the left was called Whittakers. My husband bought some land at the back of the shop to extend the area behind our house where we had some stables.

In many gardens what was once a yellow zucchini might be dying right before your eyes. The big culprit is the squash vine borer. Squash vine borers will attack zucchini, summer squash, winter squash, a lot of those cucurbit family plants. What they do is lay their eggs at the base of the plant near the stem. When the egg hatches and turns into a little larvae or a little worm, it tunnels its way up through the stem!
In the process of tunneling, it allows diseases to get in which causes wilting of the stems. If it's really far gone, there's probably not a lot you can do. There are probably a lot of those worms in the stems at that point. But, if you catch it early on, and you have just a few larvae, you can go in and play surgeon. With a little knife, cut along the stem and remove that little larvae. It's a little cream-colored worm. You can do a lot of things with him, but want to get him out of the stem. Then bury the stem in soil. What happens is the stem will reroot itself. It will continue to grow and you can get a good production out of that plant.
Another way to prevent this whole problem is early in the season put some netting over your squash plants. What the netting does is prevent the adult flies from laying the egg in the first place. Once you start getting flowers forming you have to take the netting off so the bees can get in and cross pollinate the flowers. At that point, you have to start watching and see if there are any holes in the stem where the squash vine borer will start tunneling. Check it every few days or so, and once you see a hole, do your surgery and hopefully you'll help your plant survive.

What tetra is that? From pacific.
1 Attachment(s)
Saw some tetra good for my nano in pacific. I forgot the name of it, anybody remember by any chance. I bought 3 just to see how they do on my tank, will pick up some more next week if they all survive.
Those look like Ember Tetras to me.
Looks like it, thanks. I thought they have a different name.
Was just there today - and they have the tank labeled Amandae tetras. I didn't make the connection without some help either (Ember Tetra = Hyphessobrycon amandae).
They are awesome little fish! I think I will be putting them and some pygmy cories in my next nano tank.
yes, thats it amandae tetra. I kind of like it, hope they still have them next week.
I picked up 8 from Pacific yesterday. They are very peaceful and stay small. great for nano tanks! I have 16 in my other tank.
I got six as well and they school with my other micros. If you're considering other microfish, Pacific's "Harlequins" this week are actually the diminutive Lambchop Rasbora
the regular harlequins are like proverbial Porkchop rasboras that get big. t.espeis remain small :)
This could be Ember tetra or another tetra that sometimes is imported as Ember because it looks VERY much like the Ember.
The only difference is that when calm and happy the Ember is deeper orange - literally glowing deep orange. The other species is more pale, but it has faint opalescent colors - green, blue, and even white.
The difference is truly negligible and overall the real Ember looks just deeper orange. The way your picture is now it looks like the second species, but you need to wait to see how deep orange the fish eventually get. When stressed even a little bit both species look exactly the same.
Both species are some of the hardiest tetras ever and school very tightly. Once you get them you always love them.
What would be the name of the other species??
What are you guys feeding them? I am feeding frozen brine shrimp yesterday, haven't tried flakes, need to grind it to powder for them to eat I guess. Maybe that golden pearl thing?
acitydweller+ryu1---you both have seen true Ember Tetra in my tank...how deep is the color.
Didn't pay much attention on the fish except the catfish, I thought I saw mostly neon/cards. Take a pic.
I bought mine at the same time and place with citydweller, and I never gave it much thought about it until now, but I did notice it...I was like " How come 5 of the 8 that I have are lighter in color than the other 3...and some are bigger and therefore somewhat different in shape.
actually your embers looked pretty orange on par with the ones i picked up in Long Island for $1.50 ea. The ones in pacific are like really dark orange though which is why i decided to keep these separate from my existing stock.
Not hoping to breed or anything, just dont want these guys making my existing stock look less attractive :)

Physical Therapy Program Continues to Move Forward at WKU
|Date: Friday, December 9th, 2011
WKU's Doctor of Physical Therapy Program continues to move forward, gaining approval by the Office of Graduate Studies during the Graduate Council meeting last Thursday.
But school officials insist there is still much to be done. The program needs to undergo approval by the University Senate in December, the Board of Regents in January and then begins a process of accreditation by the Commission on Accreditation in Physical Therapy Education (CAPTE).
The program must submit a detailed report of the program to the CAPTE to receive candidacy status. From there, the program is allowed to go through with the first class of students. After three years, CAPTE reviews the program once again before finally granting accreditation.
"The first part is, 'Tell us what you are going to do,'" said Kurt Neelly, physical therapy clinical academic coordinator. "Then they come back three years later and say, 'OK, now prove to us you did everything you said you were going to do.'"
A bill previously passed by the Kentucky legislature which allowed Kentucky schools, with the exception of the University of Kentucky and University of Louisville to offer up to three advanced practice doctorate degree programs, allowed for the creation of WKU's physical therapy program.
Harvey Wallmann, the director of the department of physical therapy at WKU, said there was a great need for a physical therapy program in south central Kentucky.
"There's a lot of rural areas and underserved areas that have not been addressed with health care concerns regarding physical therapy," Wallmann said. "Is there a need for a program? Yeah, because if you didn't really need a program, why come out here and start another one? But there really is a need."
The program is currently accepting applications for the fall of 2012, with a deadline of Jan. 15. It will feature a 118-credit-hour curriculum over three years, with each semester of classes already planned for students.
"They learn about all the different aspects of physical therapy in the program — it's not just one area," Wallmann said.
There are currently only two doctorate of physical therapy programs in the state, one being UK, and the other at Bellarmine University in Louisville. WKU's program hopes to accept 30 students into the program next fall.
Neelly hopes that WKU's smaller size and atmosphere will differentiate it from UK's physical therapy program.
"What we're striving to implement is a student-driven focus," Neelly said. "Were not in the big city where you might be easily lost as just another number."
Chris Bidwell, a junior majoring in biology with a specialization in pre-physical therapy, is excited about there being another physical therapy program in the state.
"It's something people need," Bidwell said. "Nobody is like, 'We don't need physical therapists.'"
That being said, Bidwell, a Glasgow native, said just because he attends WKU now doesn't mean he would return to WKU if given other choices.
"I would definitely take WKU over Bellarmine," Bidwell said. "I will apply everywhere and I will go wherever I get in."

It is still unclear as to who or which group and from whence came the bombs which exploded in Boston. No doubt, Fox News analysts will have a field day blaming al-Qaeda or Muslims for these deaths of the innocent. I do not have a clue as to the origin of deaths in Boston. Ironically, during the past month there have been several vicious murders of prosecutors in America. Evidence suggests the Aryan Brotherhood played a role in murder of law enforcement agents. Ironically, since 9/11 there are few, if any, examples of those of the Muslim faith being responsible for deaths in America.
Naturally, no one would dare to blame the easy access to weapons of minor destruction as a factor in death in America. Just think, if everyone watching the race had a gun in his/her possession, they could have blasted away-at one another!
